Edwards and Gary O'Neil represent the early candidates under consideration to succeed the former manager as head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The previous coach was dismissed on the weekend following the team's 10-match without a victory beginning to the top-flight campaign.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - both of who have previous links to the team - are part of the options to be evaluated by the club ownership.

Edwards is presently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a potential obstacle to his appointment at Molineux.

However the former Luton head coach - who played over a century of games for Wolves during his time as a player - is considered a strong contender for the vacancy.

The mid-career manager is said to have support from the Wolves directors as they begin the process of appointing a fresh manager.

O'Neil is additionally emerging as a surprise contender, although he would be a shock appointment given he was sacked by the club in December last year.

The ex- West Ham United midfielder is currently unemployed which means the club would not need to pay any buyout fee.
