Edwards and 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 team's ten-game winless beginning to the top-flight campaign.

Furthermore both candidates - each of whom have previous links to the club - are part of the options to be considered by the club leadership.

The manager is presently at another club, which would create a possible hurdle to his appointment at Wolves' stadium.

Nevertheless the ex- Luton head coach - who played over a century of games for the club during his time as a player - is said to be a leading candidate for the position.

The mid-career manager is said to have backing from the club directors as they begin the process of appointing a new manager.

Gary O'Neil is also appearing as a unexpected candidate, even though he would be a surprising appointment given he was released by Wolves in December last year.

The ex- West Ham player is currently unemployed meaning the club would not need to provide any compensation.
