The early Championship title and promotion odds as Wolves SACK manager Rob Edwards

Relegated Wolves have reportedly sacked manager Rob Edwards, with Cesar Peixoto lined up as his replacement.

The shock news comes after Kieran Tripper and Raul Jimenez’ moves to Molineux - both of which Edwards is said to have played a role in. Peixoto guided Gil Vicente to a sixth placed finish in the Primeira Liga last season.

Edwards made the decision to leave high flying Middlesbrough in November, but he has lasted just seven months in the role at Wolves - a club he spent four years at as a player, and one close to his hometown of Telford.

Wolves - back in the Championship for the first time in eight years - will still be one of the favourites to go back up. But, there will be added attention and pressure after the surprise decision to remove Edwards.

They suffered relegation along with West Ham and Preston North End’s Lancashire rivals Burnley - who are set to receive £35m from Everton. Coming up from League One are Lincoln, Cardiff and Bolton.
