Wolves head coach front runner revealed as shortlist drawn up
Wolves have been denied permission by Middlesbrough to speak to Rob Edwards about their vacant head coach role.
Edwards is the front runner to become Wolves' new head coach as they draw up their final shortlist, but Championship high-flyers Boro have rejected an initial approach for the Telford-born former Wolves defender, academy coach and one-time interim boss.
Wolves were in advanced talks with Gary O'Neil about a shock return to the club, before he pulled out of the race and the club continued assessing other candidates.
Edwards has always been high on that list of possible successors to Vitor Pereira, who was sacked on Sunday, and it is now understood that talks have taken place with representatives about a move.
Wolves have also been considering other candidates and have a final shortlist drawn up, of which Edwards is their number one target, as they aim to make an appointment as soon as possible.
