Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Rob Edwards says his team is determined to turn their season around following a run of difficult results. Speaking on 26 February 2026, Edwards confirmed that everyone at the club is desperate to do better as they prepare for a local West Midlands derby against Aston Villa at Molineux. The manager’s outlook comes as the team sits at the bottom of the Premier League table and faces intense pressure to avoid relegation to the Championship.
The manager’s comments follow a 1-0 loss away to Crystal Palace on 22 February 2026, where a 90th-minute goal from Evann Guessand sealed the defeat. During the match at Selhurst Park, striker Tolu Arokodare missed a first-half penalty and the team was forced to play with ten men after a red card was given to defender Ladislav Krejci. According to the Wolverhampton Wanderers official website, the loss has left the club in a precarious position with only a few months left in the campaign.
Edwards was appointed as manager on 12 November 2025 on a three-year contract, replacing Vítor Pereira. To help improve the team’s performance, the club signed striker Adam Armstrong from Southampton on 2 February 2026. Edwards is now focusing on helping new signings, including Armstrong and midfielder Angel Gomes, work together to help the team move up the table during the current season.
