Edwards and O'Neil represent the initial candidates in the frame to replace Vitor Pereira as head coach of Wolves.

The previous coach was dismissed on Sunday following the squad's 10-match without a victory start to the Premier League campaign.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have previous links to the team - are among the names to be considered by the Wolves ownership.

Edwards is presently at Middlesbrough, which would create a possible obstacle to his hiring at Wolves' stadium.

Nevertheless the ex- Luton Town head coach - who made more than 100 of appearances for the club during his playing career - is considered a leading candidate for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is said to have support from the club board as they begin the process of appointing a fresh manager.

Gary O'Neil is additionally appearing as a unexpected contender, although he would be a surprising choice considering he was sacked by the club in December last year.

The ex- West Ham United player is currently unemployed meaning Wolves would not need to provide any buyout fee.
