Rob Edwards has posted a statement on Instagram saying signing with Wolves has "been one of the toughest decisions of my career."
He released it last night after Wolves confirmed the appointment of him as their new head coach.
The 42-year old has left his job at Championship club Middlesbrough and has signed a three-and-a-half year deal.
Edwards takes over the team he made 111 appearances for as a player, with them sitting bottom of the Premier League, 8 points adrift of safety.
Here's his statement on Instagram:
"This has been one of the toughest decisions on my career. In truth, I wouldn't have considered leaving Middlesbrough for any other club.
"Wolves is a special club for me. It's where I grew as both a player and a coach, it's still where my family calls home. It has always been my dream to come back and these opportunities do not come around too often.
"Middlesbrough is an incredible club, with a fantastic owner, staff and passionate supporters. I want to thank everyone at the club for the opportunity to lead this squad, it is a great group of players that I genuinely hope and believe will deliver success this season.
"I could not be prouder of the environment we built together and how it all gelled together so quickly - the players, the staff, and the fans, who drive it all.
"I sincerely wish everyone at Middlesbrough all the very best for the rest of the season and beyond."
