Robert Owen Edwards (born 25 December 1982) is a professional football manager and former player who was most recently the head coach of EFL Championship club Wolverhampton Wanderers. Born in England, he represented Wales internationally.
Edwards began his career with Aston Villa, making his senior debut in the Premier League. He then moved to Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2004, where he spent four seasons at Championship level. He helped both Blackpool and Norwich City to promotions to the Premier League and featured for Barnsley in the Championship before retiring due to injury in 2013. He played international football for Wales, making his debut in 2004 and winning 15 caps in total. He completed his coaching badges with the Football Association of Wales and moved into management after retiring as a player.
Edwards managed Wolves' academy and had an interim spell at the first team, before leading AFC Telford United and the England under-16 team. He guided Forest Green Rovers to promotion as League Two champions in the 2021–22 season. Watford appointed Edwards as manager in May 2022 but he was dismissed in September. He joined Luton Town later that year, leading the club to promotion to the Premier League via the playoffs. In January 2025 he left Luton by mutual agreement, and in June he was appointed head coach of Middlesbrough, but left later in the year to rejoin Wolves as manager.
