Edwards and Gary O'Neil represent the initial names under consideration to replace the former manager as head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The previous coach was sacked 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 previous associations to the club - are part of the options to be considered by the Wolves leadership.

Edwards is currently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a possible obstacle to his appointment at Molineux.

However the ex- Luton head coach - who made over a century of games for Wolves during his time as a player - is said to be a leading contender for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is reportedly enjoys support from the Wolves board as they begin the search of appointing a new manager.

O'Neil is additionally emerging as a surprise candidate, although he would be a shock choice considering he was sacked by the club in December last year.

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