Wolves sack Rob Edwards, target César Peixoto

Wolves have sacked Rob Edwards We now go live to Kieran Trippier

Just seen Wolves have sacked Rob Edwards, just days after releasing a video interview where Trippier repeatedly states that a massive part of the reason he signed for them was the manager. Football is insane.

Who on earth is going to hire him now with his track record? Forest Green - promoted, then walked out Watford - fired within weeks Luton - promoted, then relegated, then nosedive Middlesbrough - walked out within weeks Wolves - relegated with fewer points than we got www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Rob Edwards has been sacked by Wolves with César Peixoto set to replace him. Understand Edwards is shocked by the decision. He was involved in summer planning and played a key role in bringing back Raul Jimenez to the club only days ago.🐺

#Wolves For BBC Sport on the dismissal of Rob Edwards: it may turn out to be a good decision. It may turn out bad. But a lot about it is weird. Read at link below. Call @dazhale.bsky.social on BBC Radio WM at 6pm if you want to talk about it. #wwfc www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Wolves sack Rob Edwards! I thought they employed him to get them up? He was never going to save them. Football is a strange fucking game

Obviously there was the emotional sting of Rob Edwards leaving #Boro after all that had been said - “we’re a family” etc - but from a purely football perspective it always felt like a bonkers move. From outside looking in, this always felt very possible when he joined Wolves.

The 2026-27 Championship is going to be the most open in years. West Ham have all manner of fall-out to deal with, Wolves now do this, and surely sooner or later Burnley won't bounce back. Clubs like #ncfc surely have a genuine chance of promotion. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Oh damn, Rob Edwards has left Wolves. Fulham? Palace? Let’s get him back in the Prem!

Real shame about Rob Edwards losing his dream job. Sure he'll find it easy enough to get another what with him being so trustworthy and all.

Rob Edwards becomes the 19th Wolves manager to depart since Türkiye applied to join the EU. Graham Turner was the first. 🐺🇹🇷🇪🇺

@kevadams.bsky.social Good day young sir…just read that Wolves have sacked Rob Edwards. Are you as surprised as me or not?

That Rob Edwards sacking is so weird. They can’t have expected him to keep them up from where he took over. McKenna walking also very very weird. In a post Roy never having experienced Glanser world I’d have taken either for us!

#WWFC have sacked Rob Edwards after just seven months in charge of the club, with Portuguese manager Cesar Peixoto set to be confirmed as his successor

Excl: #Wolves have sacked Rob Edwards. Cesar Peixoto to be appointed as his replacement. This is utterly mad timing and so harsh as Edwards has been planning all summer for next season + was heavily instrumental in the signings of Trippier & Jimenez. More to follow (John Percy) #WWFC #WolvesFC
