Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Rob Edwards has described the decision to leave Middlesbrough as "one of the toughest decisions" in his life in a statement released on his instagram account.
Edwards told supporters he "wouldn't have considered leaving for any other club" aside from Wolves, where he began his coaching career and made 111 appearances as a player.
"Middlesbrough is a incredible club, with a fantastic owner, staff and passionate supporters," Edwards wrote.
"I want to thank everyone at the club for the opportunity to lead this squad, it is a great group of players who I genuinely hope and believe will deliver success.
"I could not be prouder of the environment we built together and how it all gelled together so quickly - the players, the staff and the fans, who drive it all."
Edwards, who completed the move to Molineux on Wednesday, was only appointed Middlesbrough manager in June but leaves the club second in the Championship table.
His post on social media concluded, "I sincerely wish everyone at Middlesbrough all the best for the rest of the season and beyond."
