Blackpool FC's Rob Edwards has been sacked after a seven-month stint as Wolves manager. Edwards, a former Blackpool defender, struggled to turn around the team's fortunes. The 43-year-old took charge of Wolves in the Premier League, but the team finished 20th with just 20 points. Edwards' departure comes after a poor run of form, with the team failing to win consistently. The former Blackpool defender had been tipped to be at the heart of the Molineux rebuild in the Championship, but his tenure was cut short. Edwards' career has been marked by spells at Aston Villa, Derby County, and Blackpool, where he made 67 appearances. He also had a stint as Wolves coach before taking the reins as manager. Edwards' departure has sparked speculation about his next move, with Portuguese coach César Peixoto being tipped to take over at Wolves. Edwards' time at Blackpool coincided with the team's promotion to the Premier League under Ian Holloway, and he was among the substitutes in the 2010 play-off final victory over Cardiff City at Wembley. Edwards' playing career also included spells at Barnsley, Fleetwood Town, and Shrewsbury Town. He stepped into the EFL with Forest Green Rovers, before experiencing a short stint with Watford. Edwards joined Luton Town in 2022, but the team was relegated from the Premier League after one season. Edwards' departure from Luton came shortly after the Christmas period, but the team was unable to avoid another relegation.
