Rob Edwards reacts after big Luton Town news is confirmed

 

Rob Edwards has insisted that signing a new contract with Luton Town is not something he ever had any doubts about doing.

The Hatters boss has put pen to paper on a new long-term deal at Kenilworth Road, something he is clearly delighted about.

Edwards was first appointed as Luton manager in November 2022, just after his departure from their local rivals Watford.

Now, his time in the Kenilworth Road dugout looks as though it is going to continue for some time to come yet, in a move that will surely go down well with anyone connected to the club.

Edwards was first appointed as Luton manager back in November 2022, just under two months after his departure from their local rivals Watford.

His first few months at Kenilworth Road proved to be a huge success, as he guided the club to promotion to the Premier League, after a penalty shootout victory over Coventry City in the Championship play-off final.Edwards-off final.Edwards worked wonders in getting Luton promoted from the Championship back in 2023, and the fact he knows how to do that means they should be confident he can repeat the trick next season.

Beyond that, his experience of managing in the Premier League last season, may put him in a strong position to keep them there next time round, if he succeeds in getting them promoted again.

With any threat of uncertainty around Edwards’ future now gone, it allows Luton to fully focus on spending the resting of the summer putting together a squad that can take them up again, with the Hatters yet to make a signing in the summer transfer window.

As a result, this confirmation of a new contract for Edwards, should ensure that Luton Town go into the 2024/25 Championship campaign with a fair amount of confidence.
