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

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

Furthermore both candidates - each of whom have historic associations to the team - are among the names to be considered by the club leadership.

The manager is currently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a potential hurdle to his hiring at Molineux.

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

The mid-career manager is said to have backing from the Wolves directors as they begin the search of hiring a new head coach.

O'Neil is also appearing as a surprise contender, although he would be a surprising appointment given he was sacked by Wolves in the previous winter.

The ex- West Ham United player is out of work which means the club would not be required to provide any compensation.
