Rob Edwards along with O'Neil represent the early names in the frame to replace Vitor Pereira as head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The previous coach was dismissed on the weekend after the squad's ten-game winless beginning to the top-flight campaign.

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

The manager is currently at another club, which would pose a potential hurdle to his hiring at Molineux.

However the ex- Luton head coach - who made over a century of appearances for Wolves during his playing career - is said to be a leading contender for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is reportedly enjoys backing from the Wolves directors as they begin the process of appointing a new head coach.

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

The ex- West Ham United player is out of work meaning Wolves would not be required to pay any buyout fee.
