Edwards and Gary O'Neil are two of the early candidates in the frame to replace Vitor Pereira as head coach of Wolves.

Pereira was dismissed on Sunday after the squad's 10-match without a victory start to the top-flight campaign.

Furthermore both candidates - each of whom have previous associations to the team - are among the names to be evaluated by the club leadership.

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

However the former Luton head coach - who played more than 100 of appearances for Wolves during his playing career - is considered a strong candidate for the position.

The 42-year-old is reportedly enjoys backing from the Wolves directors as they start the search of appointing a fresh manager.

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

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