Wolves sack head coach Rob Edwards after relegation
Summary

Wolverhampton Wanderers have dismissed head coach Rob Edwards following their relegation from the Premier League. Edwards, appointed in November 2025, was unable to prevent the club's decline, securing just five wins in 30 games. Despite previous support from the club hierarchy, Wolves' poor performance led to this decision. Cesar Peixoto, former manager of Gil Vicente, is reportedly being considered as Edwards' replacement as the club prepares for next season in the Championship.
