Rob Edwards Stands Down Ahead of Middlesbrough's Match Against Birmingham
Rob Edwards has been stood down from his role for Middlesbrough's upcoming match against Birmingham on Saturday, as Wolves express interest in appointing him as their new manager.
Wolves attempted to initiate discussions with Edwards, but Middlesbrough rejected their approach on Thursday. Subsequently, the manager engaged in talks with the club's hierarchy on Friday.
As a result of the ongoing situation, Edwards did not conduct his usual pre-match press conference and was absent from the team's final training session ahead of the Championship clash with Birmingham.
It has now been confirmed that he will not lead the team in the home match against the Blues this afternoon.
Edwards joined Middlesbrough in June, signing a three-year contract to succeed Michel Carrick. The team from northeast England currently sits third in the Championship table as they head into this weekend's fixtures.
