Wolves want their new head coach, Rob Edwards, to help “refresh the whole club” after luring the former defender back for a fourth spell at Molineux. The 42-year-old has signed a three-and-a-half year deal.
The former Forest Green, Watford and Luton manager felt this was an opportunity he could not turn down. Edwards’s family are based in Telford, where he was born, about half an hour from Wolverhampton.
“I know Rob very well and I have seen his growth in different jobs,” the Wolves executive chair, Jeff Shi, said. “He’s a very good person, he knows the club very well, he knows the city, the fans and he is very talented.
“When he was a youth coach here, he showed his tactical awareness, but after he took first-team jobs he started to grow his own identity, character and leadership.
