Rob Edwards has officially left his role as Luton Town manager by mutual agreement following four consecutive defeats in the Championship, with the club lingering above the relegation zone. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Luton Town<\/a> boss Rob Edwards has officially left the club, with the Championship outfit confirming his departure by mutual agreement following four successive league defeats on Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Edwards was appointed manager at Kenilworth Road in November 2022, guiding the club to Premier League<\/a> promotion for the first time in over 30 years in his first season after they defeated Coventry in the play-off final.<\/p>\n

The Hatters suffered immediate demotion back down to the second-tier, finishing their top-flight season in 18th place, and despite this, the club backed Edwards and decided to remain with the Welshman at the helm.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for the 42-year-old though, his tenure has been cut short following Monday’s 2-1 defeat to QPR, with Luton lingering in a lowly 20th place, just two points clear of Hull and Cardiff in the relegation zone.<\/p>\n

Edwards’ assistants, Richie Kyle and Paul Trollope, as well as former boss Mick Harford, will take charge of Saturday’s FA Cup<\/a> third round tie away at Nottingham Forest while the club conducts a search for their next permanent manager.<\/p>\n

\n

We can confirm that Rob Edwards has left his role as manager by mutual agreement.<\/p>\n
