Wolves have revealed they have parted ways with manager Rob Edwards as they seek a new head coach.
After just seven months in charge, Wolves have decided to part ways with Edwards this week as they seek to find new leadership ahead of the new campaign.

He won just five of his 30 games in charge of the side as Wolves were relegated from the Premier League, back to the Championship.
He replaced Vitor Pereira late last year in what was an almost impossible job for the English coach who failed to breathe life into the side.
Executive chairman Nathan Shi gave a lengthy statement on the sacking, which he admits was a very tough call after what was a disastrous season.
“I would like to personally thank Rob and his staff for everything they have given to Wolves during what has been a very difficult period in the club’s recent history.
“Rob accepted the challenge of returning to Wolves at a time when the situation was extremely challenging, and throughout his time here he has conducted himself with professionalism, integrity and commitment.
“This has been an extremely difficult decision. Following the end of the season, we undertook a thorough review of every aspect of the football operation.”
He continued on the decision to let Edwards go as the club reportedly seek to hire Cesar Peixotoa manager who guided Gil Vicente to sixth place in Portugal’s Primeira Liga last season.
“Our ambition is to build a football club capable of achieving sustainable success. That requires clarity of vision, alignment throughout the football operation and the courage to make difficult decisions when we believe they are in the best interests of the club.”
