Edwards and Gary O'Neil represent the initial names in the frame to succeed Vitor Pereira as head coach of Wolves.

Pereira was dismissed on Sunday following the squad's 10-match without a victory start to the Premier League campaign.

Furthermore both candidates - both of who have historic links to the club - are among the options to be considered by the club ownership.

Edwards is currently at another club, which would pose a potential obstacle to his hiring at Molineux.

Nevertheless the former Luton Town head coach - who played over a century of appearances for the club during his playing career - is said to be a leading contender for the position.

The mid-career manager is said to have support from the Wolves directors as they start the process of hiring a fresh head coach.

Gary O'Neil is additionally appearing as a unexpected candidate, although he would be a surprising appointment considering he was released by Wolves in the previous winter.

The ex- West Ham United player is currently unemployed meaning Wolves would not be required to pay any compensation.
