Rob Edwards is the new Wolves head coach, having signed a three-and-a-half-year deal to begin his fourth spell at the club.<\/p>\n
The former Old Gold defender has taken to management impressively in recent years, earning promotions with Forest Green Rovers and Luton Town \u2013 to the Premier League \u2013 while enjoying a positive start to this Championship season with Middlesbrough.<\/p>\n
Born in Telford, Edwards\u2019 affinity with Wolves first began in 2004. He played 111 times across four seasons with the club, most notably in the centre of defence under Mick McCarthy.<\/p>\n
Edwards, who was capped 15 times by Wales, later enjoyed spells with Blackpool \u2013 where he won promotion to the Premier League as a player \u2013 and Barnsley, and made his first steps into coaching with Wolves\u2019 under-18s in 2014.<\/p>\n
Within a year, he was working under Kenny Jackett as first-team coach, and in October 2016 took charge of two first-team matches on an interim basis, following Walter Zenga\u2019s time at Molineux.<\/p>\n
After a first taste of senior management with AFC Telford United, Edwards returned to Wolves once more as under-23 head coach and won a first promotion to the highest level of youth football for the club.<\/p>\n
Time coaching within the Football Association followed, as did a first piece of silverware in senior management with Forest Green, having won the League Two title in 2022, before a brief stint with Watford.<\/p>\n
