Wolves are expected to appoint Middlesbrough manager Rob Edwards as their new boss on a three-and-a-half-year deal, according to reports.
The Black Country club have agreed a compensation fee in the region of £2million with Middlesbrough for the 42-year-old, according to The Athletic.
Edwards, who joined the Championship club less than five months ago, is understood to be travelling to the Midlands tomorrow to sign his contract and finalise discussions over his coaching staff.
It means the Welshman could be in the dugout at Molienux on Saturday as Wolves, who are winless this Premier League season, take on Crystal Palace.
Edwards returns to the club almost nine years after he enjoyed a brief spell in charge as an interim manager. He also made north of 100 appearances for Wolves during his four years there as a player.
Since leaving the club in 2016, he’s gone on to enjoy spells as manager of Forest Green, Watford and most notably Luton Town.

He helped the Hatters to the Premier League during his three years at Kenilworth Road but their stay in the top flight lasted just the solitary season. Edwards left the club following year with them languishing dangerously close to relegation.
