Rob Edwards along with Gary O'Neil represent the initial candidates in the frame to succeed Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolves.

Pereira was dismissed on Sunday after the squad's 10-match winless start to the top-flight campaign.

And Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have previous associations to the team - are part of the names to be evaluated by the Wolves leadership.

Edwards is currently at another club, which would create a possible hurdle 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 vacancy.

The 42-year-old is reportedly enjoys backing from the club board as they start the search of hiring a fresh head coach.

O'Neil is additionally appearing as a surprise candidate, although he would be a shock appointment considering he was released by Wolves in December last year.

The ex- West Ham United midfielder is out of work which means Wolves would not be required to provide any buyout fee.
