Edwards along with O'Neil represent the initial names in the frame to replace Vitor Pereira as head coach of Wolves.

The previous coach was sacked on the weekend following the squad's ten-game winless beginning to the Premier League season.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have previous associations to the club - are part of the names to be considered by the club leadership.

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

Nevertheless the former Luton Town head coach - who made over a century of games for Wolves during his playing career - is said to be a strong candidate for the position.

The mid-career manager is said to have backing from the Wolves board as they begin the process of appointing a new head coach.

Gary O'Neil is additionally appearing as a surprise candidate, although he would be a surprising appointment given he was sacked by Wolves in December last year.

The ex- West Ham player is currently unemployed which means Wolves would not be required to pay any compensation.
