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

Pereira was dismissed on the weekend after the squad's 10-match without a victory beginning to the Premier League campaign.

And both candidates - both of who have historic associations to the team - are part of the options to be considered by the club leadership.

Edwards is presently at another club, which would pose a possible obstacle to his hiring at Molineux.

Nevertheless the former Luton Town head coach - who made over a century of appearances for Wolves during his time as a player - is said to be a strong contender for the vacancy.

The mid-career manager is said to have support from the club directors as they begin the search of appointing a new manager.

O'Neil is additionally emerging as a surprise contender, even though he would be a surprising choice given he was sacked by the club in the previous winter.

The former West Ham midfielder is currently unemployed meaning Wolves would not need to provide any buyout fee.
