Wolves sack Rob Edwards, set to appoint Cesar Peixoto | OneFootball

Wolves have sacked head coach Rob Edwards and are set to appoint Cesar Peixoto as his replacement.

According to ExpressAndStar.com, Edwards was informed on Thursday morning by phone while abroad on holiday. The decision came in the same week the club announced the arrivals of Kieran Trippier and Raul Jimenez.

Wolves are now moving for Peixoto, who currently leads Portuguese side Gil Vicente. The 46-year-old has only managed within the Portuguese league system.

It is understood the 43-year-old had been working on Wolves’ summer recruitment and did not anticipate the decision.

Edwards played a central role in recruiting Trippier, who cited the coach’s passion as a factor in his move.

Peixoto is represented by Jorge Mendes’ Gestifute agency, which has close ties to Wolves owners Fosun.
