AI Summary

Wolverhampton Wanderers have sacked manager Rob Edwards after a disappointing stint that failed to secure Premier League safety. The club is now targeting Portuguese manager César Peixoto as his replacement.

The Sacking of Rob Edwards

Wolverhampton Wanderers have sacked Rob Edwards, the former Middlesbrough manager they hired in November last year, after he was unable to guide the struggling Midlands club to Premier League safety.

Edwards' Tenure at Wolves

Edwards signed a three-and-a-half year deal when he was appointed and took over Wolves following the sacking of Vítor Pereira, now the Nottingham Forest manager. Edwards took over with the club bottom of the Premier League with two points from 11 matches and was unable to improve their position. Wolves were relegated in April after an eight-year spell in the top tier.

The Replacement

It is understood the Gil Vicente manager, César Peixoto, has been targeted as his replacement.

Preparing for the Championship

The moves comes after the Molineux club had begun preparing for life in the Championship by signing Kieran Trippier and Raúl Jiménez.
