Edwards along with O'Neil are two of the early candidates under consideration to succeed Vitor Pereira as head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pereira was sacked on the weekend after the team's 10-match winless beginning to the Premier League season.

Furthermore both candidates - both of who have historic associations to the team - are among the names to be evaluated by the Wolves ownership.

The manager is currently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a potential hurdle to his appointment at Molineux.

Nevertheless the former Luton head coach - who made over a century of games for the club during his playing career - is considered a strong candidate for the position.

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

Gary O'Neil is also appearing as a unexpected candidate, although he would be a surprising choice given he was sacked by Wolves in December last year.

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