Wolverhampton Wanderers have endured a dismal season and suffered relegation from the Premier League after eight consecutive years in the top flight.
On Monday, West Ham secured a vital point by drawing with Crystal Palace, which mathematically confirmed Wolves‘ drop to the Championship with five games still remaining.
The Midlands club now sit 16 points adrift of fourth-bottom West Ham, and they have won just three league matches from 33 games played so far. Managers changed during the campaign as Vitor Pereira started the season in charge at Molineux but got sacked in early November following a terrible start.
The club then appointed former Middlesbrough boss Rob Edwards, yet he faced an almost impossible task and could not engineer a miracle turnaround.
Despite recent impressive victories against Aston Villa and Liverpool, Wolves have looked like relegation candidates for months. Their eight-year stay in the Premier League thus comes to a disappointing end.

Wolves first returned to the Premier League in 2018 after winning the Championship title under Nuno Espírito Santo.
They quickly established themselves as a competitive side, achieving two impressive seventh-place finishes and even reaching the quarter-finals of the Europa League.
This marks the first time Wolves have returned to the Championship since their promotion in 2018. Previously, they had bounced between divisions, including a spell in League One after relegation in 2012, before climbing back up.
Nevertheless, the club boasts a rich history of achievements beyond recent times. Wolves claimed the English top-flight title three times in the 1950s (1953–54, 1957–58, and 1958–59) under legendary manager Stan Cullis. They also lifted the FA Cup four times and secured the League Cup twice.
