Edwards was appointed as the new Wolves head coach last week – with the ex-defender also joined by Harry Watling, who had served under him during his short time at Middlesbrough.<\/a><\/p>\n

It was expected that Edwards would be adding to his coaching staff – with the team that worked under former boss Vitor Pereira departing the club along with the Portuguese coach.<\/p>\n

And Edwards is set to make his latest appointment today – bringing in a coach who previously worked under him during his time at Luton Town.<\/p>\n

Former Wales international Paul Trollope is due to become part of Edwards’ staff – joining the club from Southampton where he served as assistant coach to Will Still before the young boss was axed just months into the season.<\/p>\n

Trollope and Edwards worked together across three years at Luton – taking the club into the Premier League before their relegation back to the Championship.<\/p>\n

The 53-year-old former defender has held a number of assistant roles in recent years – but prior to that he had a five years spell in management with Bristol Rovers.<\/p>\n

Having retired at the club as a player, he took over as caretaker manager before landing the job in 2005.<\/p>\n

During that period he won promotion to League One and took The Gas to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.<\/p>\n

Since then, aside from a short lived 12 game stint as manager of Cardiff City – he has worked in a coaching capacity at Birmingham City and Norwich City – before more recently having roles at Brighton and Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Edwards was appointed as the new Wolves head coach last week – with the ex-defender also joined by…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":273609,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,217,101,56,54,55,21664],"class_list":["post-273608","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sport","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-wolverhampton-wanderers-fc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273608","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=273608"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273608\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/273609"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=273608"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=273608"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=273608"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
