Rob Edwards today accepted the improbable task of leading Wolves to Premier League survival after agreeing to succeed Vitor Pereira as manager at Molineux.
Edwards quit Middlesbrough after less than five months at the helm to return to Wolves, where he spent four years as a player and six as a coach.
The 42-year-old has signed a three-and-a-half year deal with the club.
Wolves have only two points from 11 matches and are already eight adrift of safety heading into the international break. Edwards' first match in charge will be against Crystal Palace at Molineux on November 22.
