"Former defender Edwards, who takes charge for the first time against Crystal Palace on Saturday (15:00 GMT), is Wolves' 11th manager in 13 years - and their fifth since Nuno Espirito Santo left in 2021. Nuno is just one of three to have managed more than 100 games for Wolves in the past 21 years - along with Mick McCarthy and Kenny Jackett."
"As they sit bottom of the Premier League, winless and favourites for relegation, will Edwards finally be that man? With just two points from 11 games, Edwards arrives at a stricken club with the team in desperate need of inspiration. According to Opta, Wolves 'deserve' to be sitting on 11 points and Pereira felt conceding late goals against Tottenham, Brighton and Burnley - which cost Wolves five points - damaged the team's mindset beyond repair."
Rob Edwards joins Wolves as manager after 111 club appearances and will take charge against Crystal Palace. Wolves have appointed 11 managers in 13 years and five since 2021, with several recent tenures lasting only months. The club sits bottom of the Premier League with two points from 11 games, winless and widely tipped for relegation. Opta data suggests Wolves should have 11 points. Vitor Pereira blamed late goals conceded for costing five points and damaging team morale. Edwards previously faced a relegation battle while managing Luton following their promotion and experienced the emotional period around Tom Lockyer's cardiac arrest.
