National World Top Stories Update Wednesday 12 November, 2025
Wolves have officially signed Rob Edwards as their new manager.
Boro will reportedly be given £3m in compensation, having lost their manager while fighting for promotion to the Premier League. The club are second in the Championship at the time of publication, five points behind Coventry City.
Wolves chairman Jeff Shi said: “I know Rob very well and I have seen his growth in different jobs. He’s a very good person, he knows the club very well, he knows the city, the fans and he is very talented.
“When he was a youth coach here, he showed his tactical awareness, but after he took first-team jobs he started to grow his own identity, character and leadership.
“We need to refresh the whole club with a new coach’s philosophy, bringing his own identity and ideas, and we can build on that. We are at a new chapter for the club and Rob will be a key piece of that.”
His first game in charge will come after the international break on November 22 when Wolves play at home to Crystal Palace.
Edwards, who previously managed Luton in the Premier League, begins a fourth spell at Wolves after making 111 appearances as a player as well as enjoying time as a coach and interim boss.
He will be joined by assistant head coach Harry Watling after the pair worked together at Middlesbrough, with the rest of his backroom staff to be confirmed in the near future.
