Edwards and Gary O'Neil represent the initial candidates in the frame to replace Vitor Pereira as head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The previous coach was dismissed on Sunday after the team's 10-match winless beginning to the Premier League campaign.

And Edwards and O'Neil - both of who have historic associations to the club - are among the names to be evaluated by the club ownership.

The manager is presently at another club, which would pose a possible obstacle to his hiring at Wolves' stadium.

However the ex- Luton Town manager - who played more than 100 of appearances for Wolves during his time as a player - is said to be a strong contender for the position.

The mid-career manager is reportedly enjoys backing from the club directors as they begin the search of appointing a new head coach.

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

The ex- West Ham midfielder is currently unemployed meaning the club would not be required to provide any compensation.
