Rob Edwards along with O'Neil are two of the initial candidates in the frame to succeed Vitor Pereira as head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The previous coach was dismissed on Sunday after the squad's 10-match without a victory beginning to the top-flight season.

Furthermore both candidates - each of whom have previous links to the club - are among the options to be considered by the Wolves leadership.

Edwards is presently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a possible hurdle to his hiring at Molineux.

Nevertheless the former Luton Town manager - who played over a century of games for the club during his playing career - is said to be a strong candidate for the position.

The 42-year-old is said to have support from the Wolves board as they begin the process of hiring a new head coach.

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

The ex- West Ham United midfielder is out of work meaning Wolves would not need to provide any compensation.
