Edwards and Gary O'Neil represent the early names under consideration to succeed Vitor Pereira as head coach of Wolves.

The previous coach was dismissed on Sunday following the squad's ten-game winless start to the top-flight campaign.

Furthermore both candidates - both of who have previous associations to the club - are part of the options to be considered by the Wolves leadership.

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

Nevertheless the ex- Luton manager - who made over a century of appearances for Wolves during his playing career - is considered a leading contender for the position.

The 42-year-old is said to have support from the club directors as they start the process of hiring a fresh manager.

O'Neil is additionally emerging as a unexpected contender, even though he would be a surprising appointment given he was released by Wolves in the previous winter.

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