Rob Edwards along with O'Neil are two of the early candidates under consideration to replace Vitor Pereira as head coach of Wolves.

Pereira was sacked on the weekend after the team's ten-game without a victory start to the top-flight season.

Furthermore both candidates - each of whom have historic associations to the club - are among the names to be evaluated by the club leadership.

The manager is presently at Middlesbrough, which would create a possible obstacle to his appointment at Wolves' stadium.

However the former Luton head coach - who played over a century of appearances for Wolves during his time as a player - is said to be a strong candidate for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is reportedly enjoys support from the Wolves directors as they start the process of hiring a fresh head coach.

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

The former West Ham United midfielder is out of work meaning the club would not be required to pay any compensation.
