Wolverhampton Wanderers<\/a> have officially been relegated from the Premier League<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Their fate was confirmed with West Ham United<\/a>‘s 0-0<\/a> draw against Crystal Palace<\/a> on Monday. Rob Edwards’ side are on 17 points after 33 games.<\/p>\n

Wolves started the season with V\u00edtor Pereira in charge before the Portuguese manager was sacked in November last year and replaced by former Luton Town and Middlesbrough boss Rob Edwards.<\/p>\n

Pereira is now at Nottingham Forest<\/a> who are in their own relegation battle, but recent results have seen them inch toward safety.<\/p>\n

It has been a miserable season in the Premier League for Wolves — who did not get their first win until January. Since then, they have won only two more games — albeit against European spot-chasing Aston Villa<\/a> and Liverpool<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Their relegation ends an eight-season stay in the English top flight and means that the West Midlands club will be back in the Championship for the first time since the 2017-18 season.<\/p>\n

Wolves interim executive Nathan Shi said after the game that fans “deserve better” and promised they would “respond with clarity and conviction.”<\/p>\n

In a statement after relegation was confirmed, Shi said: “Confirmation of our relegation is a difficult moment for everyone connected to Wolves.<\/p>\n

“While this is a deeply disappointing outcome, work has been under way since my arrival in December to ensure we are ready to respond with clarity and conviction.<\/p>\n

“We are clear on what needs to improve, and our focus is now on strengthening the club, building momentum and creating a team our supporters can believe in. We know what is required and will approach the months ahead with purpose.<\/p>\n

“We know this season has tested your loyalty and patience. Your backing, home and away, has not been taken for granted.<\/p>\n

“You deserve better and giving you a club you can genuinely be proud of is what drives everything we do from this point forward.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wolverhampton Wanderers have officially been relegated from the Premier League.
