"BBC Sport reported on Sunday that former Luton manager Edwards was among the leading contenders to replace Vitor Pereira, who was sacked following a winless start to the Premier League season. Wolves held talks with former boss Gary O'Neil but the 42-year-old withdrew from the running on Monday. Ex-Wolves player Edwards, also 42, has always been a strong candidate at Molineux and is now emerging as the club's preferred choice."
"It is understood the relegation-threatened club are preparing an official approach to Middlesbrough, who are third in the Championship. Wolves are bottom of the table with only two points after 10 games - eight points adrift of 17th-placed Burnley. It is understood Wolves would be required to pay significant compensation to Middlesbrough to secure Edwards, who only took over at the Riverside Stadium in June."
"Edwards made more than 100 appearances for Wolves between 2004 and 2008, later becoming a coach at the club and briefly interim manager in 2016 after the sacking of Walter Zenga. He became head coach of Forest Green Rovers in 2021 before taking over Championship side Watford the following year, but was sacked only 11 matches into his tenure."
Wolves are preparing a formal approach to Middlesbrough to appoint Rob Edwards as their head coach after sacking Vitor Pereira following a winless start. Edwards, a former Wolves player and coach who played over 100 times for the club, is emerging as the preferred choice after Gary O'Neil withdrew from consideration. Middlesbrough, third in the Championship, would likely demand significant compensation for Edwards, who joined them in June on a three-year deal following his brief spell at Luton and previous roles at Forest Green Rovers and Watford. Wolves sit bottom with two points after ten games, eight points behind safety.
