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.
That gave the Hatters the chance to play in the Premier League for the first time in their history, during the 2023/24 campaign.
Ultimately, the season would end in disappointment, with Luton relegated after an 18th place finish, although they did win plenty of praise for their approach to the top-flight of English football.
Now it has been confirmed that Edwards will indeed be the man to lead the club’s push for promotion from the Championship in the 2024/25 season, and beyond.
Luton have announced that the 41-year-old has signed a new four-year contract with the club, that will secure his future in the Kenilworth Road dugout until the end of the 2027/28 season.
It also seems as though that deal is one that Edwards himself is more than happy to see signed and announced.
Speaking about his new contract with the Hatters to the club’s official website, the Luton manager said: “I’m really pleased. It’s been the best 18 months of my professional career; we’ve had so much fun. There’s been ups and, let’s be honest, downs too. But I feel really excited to extend our stay.
“It was never in doubt, but it’s great that we are all on the same page here and we know where we want to be now, we’ve all had a taste of it.
