Wolves have identified Edwards as their favorite to replace Vitor Pereira, who was sacked last weekend after a winless start to the season.<\/p>\n<p>The Premier League club initially approached Boro to speak to Edwards, but the club remained determined to keep their head coach. But doubts over Edwards&#8217; future grew further after the club canceled their usual press conference, due to be held at Rockliffe from 1pm on Friday to preview Boro&#8217;s Championship showdown with Birmingham City.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>At the moment it remains unclear whether Edwards or someone else will take charge of Boro&#8217;s side for Saturday&#8217;s Championship showdown with Birmingham City at the Riverside. With negotiations ongoing with executives, it seems increasingly unlikely that Edwards will lead the team.<\/p>\n<p>According to reports from the Midlands, Edwards was open to the idea of \u200b\u200btaking up the role at Molineux. His family still live in the area and have strong ties to the club, both as players and coaches.<\/p>\n<p>However, he is only four months into his three-year contract with Boro. If he leaves, Boro will demand hefty compensation.<\/p>\n<p>Boro were confident Edwards was committed to the club and would be prepared to turn down an offer from Wolves, but this latest development suggests there may be more to the story.<\/p>\n<p>If there was no truth in it, this press conference may have given Mr. Edwards a chance to finally finish the story.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/2131076\/wolves-rob-edwards-middlesbrough\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rob Edwards&#8217; tenure at Middlesbrough is in jeopardy after his pre-match press conference scheduled for Friday afternoon was abruptly canceled following interest from Wolves.
