Luton Town manager Rob Edwards has left the club by mutual consent following a run of four consecutive defeats in the Championship. 

Edwards was appointed in November 2022 and steered the Hatters to Premier League promotion in his first season in charge after beating Coventry City in the play-off final. 

The 42-year-old remained at the helm despite relegation from the top-flight, but a poor run of form that leaves them 20th in the Championship has seen him leave the club. 

Edwards oversaw 103 matches across all competitions, winning 33 (D23 L47), averaging 1.18 points per game and ending with a win percentage of 30.77%. 

Luton's defeat to Queens Park Rangers last time out was their 10th straight defeat away from home, leaving them two points and two places above the relegation zone. 

"It's been a privilege to manage Luton Town Football Club, but now is the right time for me to move on, for the club and me," Edwards said in a statement on the club's website.

"I'm really proud of what we achieved, not only winning a play-off game which the club had struggled to do, but winning the final and gaining promotion to the Premier League at Wembley was the most amazing experience.

"I take with me some incredible memories, not just the victories against Watford or Sunderland in the semi-final, or Brighton, Newcastle, Palace or Everton.

"But the way we did it, how we played against Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Villa and Manchester United, we were brave and brilliant to watch, how the Kenny bounced and roared. That's what I'll remember."

Edwards' assistants, Richie Kyle and Paul Trollope, will be in charge of the team for their FA Cup third-round tie at Nottingham Forest on Sunday, along with club legend and former boss Mick Harford.
