Wolves Sack Boss Rob Edwards Following Premier League Relegation

Wolverhampton Wanderers dismissed head coach Rob Edwards on Thursday after an end-of-season review, with the club targeting Gil Vicente coach Cesar Peixoto as his replacement.
Executive chairman Nathan Shi stated the decision aims to provide Wolves with the "strongest platform" for future success after the club finished bottom of the Premier League last season.
Edwards was actively planning for the upcoming season earlier this week following signings of Kieran Trippier, Raul Jimenez, and Andre, having been appointed in November 2025 on a three-and-a-half year deal.
Cesar Peixoto, who guided Gil Vicente to sixth place in Portugal's Primeira Liga last season, is poised to assume the role and lead Wolves' Championship campaign.
Wolves must now secure promotion from the Championship after their relegation, a challenge Edwards previously failed with Luton in 2024 during his managerial career.
