Wolves eye Portuguese coach amid Edwards' pressure
10 Jun
Summary
- Wolves are reportedly considering Cesar Peixoto as manager replacement.
- Rob Edwards' tenure has been disappointing, leading to relegation.
- Peixoto has impressed with Gil Vicente, securing survival and sixth place.
Wolves are reportedly targeting Portuguese coach Cesar Peixoto as a potential successor to manager Rob Edwards. Edwards, who took charge in November 2025, has struggled to improve the team's fortunes, leading to their relegation from the Premier League. His record of three wins in 27 games has led to scrutiny from supporters regarding his ability to lead a promotion push.
Peixoto, currently head coach of Portuguese club Gil Vicente, has garnered attention for his successful management. He took over in March 2025 when the team was battling relegation and orchestrated a late-season surge, securing survival. His impressive performance continued in the recent Liga Portugal season, guiding Gil Vicente to a respectable sixth-place finish.
With promotion back to the Premier League as the primary goal for the upcoming season, Wolves are expected to be active in the transfer market. Uncertainty also surrounds the future of midfielder Fer Lopez, with Celta Vigo reportedly keen to retain him. The club is also rumored to be close to re-signing Raul Jimenez. Ultimately, Rob Edwards' future may depend on the team's performance at the start of the next season.
