Rob Edwards has left the position of manager of Middlesbrough in connection with interest from Wolverhampton

  • Rob Edwards was removed from the match against Middlesbrough due to interest from Wolverhampton.
  • The club received a request from Wolverhampton, but still decided to release Edwards from obligations.
  • Edwards will likely return to Wolverhampton, where he previously played.

Manager of Middlesbrough Rob Edwards was removed from managerial duties on Saturday during the match against Birmingham due to strong interest from Wolverhampton in his candidacy for the vacant managerial position.

Edwards did not conduct training with the team on Friday, and the press conference before the match was canceled. This happened after the club received an official request from Wolverhampton about the possibility of discussing with Edwards.

It starts to seem that the club Middlesbrough decided not to put Edwards on the match, especially since his situation raises uncertainty due to interest from Wolverhampton.

Edwards, who previously managed Middlesbrough in red, will likely return to Wolverhampton, where he previously played and worked in the club system. Wolverhampton is searching for a new manager after the dismissal of Vitor Pereira, who failed to secure successful results for the team.

The club Middlesbrough believes that Edwards will likely remain with the team, as Wolverhampton again shows interest in his candidacy after other options did not justify themselves.
