Wolves supporters have plenty to look forward to if the club manage to secure their top managerial candidate.
The Premier League side are set to make a formal approach for Middlesbrough boss Rob Edwards before the end of Tuesday GIVEMESPORT sources have confirmed. If they get their way, Edwards will replace Vitor Pereira following his sacking earlier this week. Pereira was sacked after Wolves' last game in the Premier League, a defeat away to Fulham.
With Edwards now the top candidate for the role, things seem to be gathering pace as Wolves aim to have a new manager in place before this weekend's top flight clash with Chelsea.
GIVEMESPORT sources previously confirmed that Edwards was one of the candidates to replace Pereira, with the Boro boss holding a release clause in his contract that would allow him to move without Middlesbrough's permission.
How Wolves Would Play Under Rob Edwards
Rob Edwards claps
Edwards is no stranger to life at Molineux after making more than 100 appearances for the club during his playing career. He also worked as the club's under-18 coach. in the early days of his journey into management.
Since then he has managed Forest Green Rovers, Watford and Luton, with whom he earned promotion to the Premier League against the odds, before suffering relegation back to the Championship.
Named as Michael Carrick's replacement at Middlesbrough over the summer, Edwards revealed how he wants his teams to play, which will be music to the ears of the Wolves fans.
Speaking to Middlesbrough's official website after his unveiling, Edwards said: “We want to play with intensity. That’s a non-negotiable.
“We want to win the ball back double quick. We want to be controlling the game but as far away from our goal as possible.
“I want shots, I want goals, I want chances, crosses, action. That’s what I want."
Edwards added: "We want to be aggressive, we want to be exciting, we want to take risks. We want to be brave.
“And we want to get that crowd onside and making a hell of a lot of noise for us. We will reward them with good performances and exciting football."
Edwards' claims of playing exciting football have certainly been backed up with Middlesbrough sitting third in the Championship after picking up 26 points from 14 games so far. Winning seven matches and losing just twice, Boro have scored 17 times and conceded just 12 goals, giving them the third-best defence in the second tier.
