"This has been one of the toughest decisions of my career. In truth, I wouldn't have considered leaving Middlesbrough for any other club. Wolves is a special club for me. It's where I grew as both a player and a coach; it's still where my family calls home. It has always been my dream to come back, and these opportunities do not come around too often."
"Middlesbrough is an incredible club, with a fantastic owner, staff and passionate supporters. I want to thank everyone at the club for the opportunity to lead this squad. It is a great group of players that I genuinely hope and believe will deliver success this season. I could not be prouder of the environment we built together and how it all gelled together so quickly - the players, the staff, and the fans, who drive it all."
Rob Edwards has signed a three-and-a-half-year contract to become Wolves head coach. He previously played for Wolves between 2004 and 2008 and served as an interim manager there. Edwards departed Middlesbrough just over five months after his June appointment, leaving after 15 Championship games with the club second in the table. The move to Wolves came while Wolves sat bottom of the Premier League on two points, winless this season (D2 L9) and eight points from safety after four straight defeats. Edwards praised Middlesbrough's owner, staff, players and supporters and wished the club well.
