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

The previous coach was sacked on Sunday after the squad's ten-game without a victory beginning to the Premier League season.

And Edwards and O'Neil - both of who have historic links to the team - are part of the options to be evaluated by the Wolves ownership.

The manager is presently at another club, which would create a potential hurdle to his appointment at Wolves' stadium.

Nevertheless the former Luton head coach - who made more than 100 of appearances for Wolves during his time as a player - is considered a leading candidate for the position.

The mid-career manager is said to have backing from the club board as they start the process of hiring a new manager.

Gary O'Neil is additionally emerging as a surprise contender, even though he would be a shock choice considering he was released by the club in December last year.

The former West Ham United player is out of work which means the club would not need to pay any compensation.
