According to ExpressAndStar.com, Rob Edwards was sacked by Wolves today after seven months in charge. He recorded five wins and nine draws, losing the other 16. He had been appointed with one eye on rebuilding in the Championship.

His spell sits among a cluster of brief tenures in the 21st century, spanning Terry Connor and Rob Edwards.

Julen Lopetegui may have lasted longer in days, but that largely reflected his decision to wait until late summer to leave.

Paul Lambert’s tenure came in just under Edwards’ time, with Fosun moving on in summer 2017 to appoint Nuno Espirito Santo. The first appointment of the Fosun era proved short lived.

A manager brought in to replace his predecessor could only oversee Wolves plummeting to League One.
