Rob Edwards: Luton Town sack manager after four straight losses

Sports


Luton Town have sacked manager Rob Edwards after four successive Championship defeats.

The 42-year-old was appointed in November 2022 and guided the Hatters back to the top flight for the first time in more than 30 years in 2023.

He remained at the helm despite their relegation from the Premier League after just one season, but a run of four straight defeats left them in 20th place in the Championship.

Monday's 2-1 defeat to Queens Park Rangers was the tenth in a row away from home, and they are only two places and two points away from the relegation places.

“Rob has given us some of our greatest days to celebrate as milliners,” said CEO Gary Sweet.

He added: “The final at Wembley and our season in the Premier League will live with us forever, and in doing so Rob has gained legendary status.”

He added: “It is clear that results this season, especially away from home, have not been acceptable, and while we have supported Rob and his team in every way we can, we all felt it was necessary to take action to rectify this with 20 league games remaining.”

“It is typical of Rob's humility that he recognized this himself and leaves not just as a former manager, but as a trusted friend who has left his mark on every player and member of staff.”
