Despite finishing bottom of the Premier League, the Old Gold<\/a> have been busy preparing a Championship<\/a> super squad, with Kieran Trippier and Raul Jimenez signing for the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob Edwards seemingly played an integral part in those transfers as the Black Country club were fast becoming everyone’s favourites to lift the second-tier title next term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Wolves supporters are waking up to the strangest of news, as the man they thought was brought in to guide the club back to the top tier has been sacked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, the alarming details of how Edwards discovered his sacking have emerged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday afternoon, leftfield news broke that Wolves were considering Gil Vicente boss C\u00e9sar Peixoto as their new manager<\/a> to replace Edwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report came out of nowhere and felt like a bizarre one given that the club are well-prepared for next season with Edwards involved in transfer activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, in the early hours of the morning, Fabrizio Romano revealed<\/a> that the Old Gold have agreed a deal in principle to appoint Peixoto, with a verbal agreement in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has since been reported that Edwards has been sacked, but now the shocking truth of how he found out about the news has been revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 43-year-old first heard of his sacking after a member of his family saw rumours of Peixoto’s appointment on social media, and Edwards called the club to ask about the rumours, according to Peter O’Rourke<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O’Rourke adds that in a phone call to club officials, it was confirmed to Edwards he had been sacked despite playing a role in the club\u2019s first two signings of the summer in Trippier and Jimenez, and also the new contract for Andre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clearly, the news was as much of a surprise to him and his family as it was to the wider football community, as his successor’s appointment was announced before his sacking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who is Wolves’ new manager C\u00e9sar Peixoto?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In his native Portugal, the 46-year-old is regarded as an ambitious, modern manager who has consistently worked with clubs on modest budgets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reports suggest that the Old Gold were impressed with the job he did at Gil Vicente, who finished sixth in Liga Portugal, significantly overachieving on minimal resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His preferred formation is a 4-2-3-1 built on a sturdy defensive structure with quick transitions into attack, while he likes to develop young players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you make of Wolves’ managerial change? Let us know in the comments!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wolves have a track record of appointing Portuguese managers due to the club’s close connection with super-agent Jorge Mendes and his agency Gestifute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is going to take a while for the news of Edwards’ sacking to sink in, and given the circumstances of his dismissal, the club has some explaining to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
