Rob Edwards has rejected an approach from Burnley, talkSPORT understands
Burnley turned to Edwards after pulling out of a deal to appoint Wales boss Craig Bellamy at the 11th hour.
The Clarets had held talks with Bellamy over succeeding Scott Parker as manager.
However, issues regarding his backroom staff caused the club to scrap their pursuit.
Manager hunt
Burnley have now seen their attempts to bring Edwards to Turf Moor fail.
The former Wolves manager is available after he was sacked earlier this month.
It followed the club’s relegation from the Premier League last season.
Several players were angered by the decision, including new signing Kieran Trippier.
Edwards had joined Wolves from Middlesbrough in November but was unable to steer the club to survival.
He previously guided Luton Town out of the Championship by winning the play-offs in 2023.
Burnley also saw their campaign end in relegation, with Parker sacked in April after almost two years in charge.
It marked a third relegation from the top-flight in five seasons, with each of their Championship campaigns in between resulting in an immediate return.
Steve Cooper is also understood to be a contender for the vacant managerial role.
Having left Danish side Brondby last month, the 46-year-old is currently without a club.
Cooper guided Nottingham Forest to promotion back in 2022.
He has also previously had spells in charge of Leicester City and Swansea City.
Season fast-approaching
The Clarets are less than two weeks away from starting their pre-season schedule on Friday, July 10.
Burnley will play matches against Cincinnati, Columbus Crew and Real Salt Lake as part of a tour of the USA.
Matches against Dutch giants Ajax and LaLiga side Espanyol are also scheduled ahead of the new season.
Meanwhile, their league campaign begins at home to West Ham United on Sunday, August 16.
Their new manager will also face a Carabao Cup tie at home to League One Notts County a week prior.
