Tranmere Rovers have revealed new manager Rob Edwards turned down a Premier League job to take charge.
Edwards, 41, is the permanent successor to Ronnie Moore, who was suspended by Rovers in February after being charged by the FA for breaching betting rules and then sacked last month after pleading guilty.
A Tranmere statement read: "Tranmere Rovers have appointed former Welsh international Rob Edwards as their new manager.
"Edwards, 41, recently left Exeter City and has turned down a job at a Premier League club to take charge at Prenton Park.
"The former Preston defender was assistant manager at Exeter City where he played a key role as the club won successive promotions from the Conference to League One."
