Edwards and O'Neil are two of the early names in the frame to succeed Vitor Pereira as head coach of Wolves.

The previous coach was sacked on Sunday after the squad's ten-game without a victory beginning to the Premier League season.

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

Edwards is currently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a potential obstacle to his hiring at Wolves' stadium.

Nevertheless the former Luton head coach - who made more than 100 of appearances for the club during his playing career - is said to be a strong contender for the vacancy.

The mid-career manager is said to have backing from the Wolves board as they begin the search of hiring a new manager.

Gary O'Neil is also appearing as a surprise candidate, although he would be a surprising choice considering he was sacked by Wolves in the previous winter.

The former West Ham player is currently unemployed meaning the club would not be required to pay any compensation.
