Rob Edwards along with O'Neil are two of the initial names in the frame to succeed Vitor Pereira as head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pereira was sacked on the weekend after the team's ten-game without a victory start to the Premier League season.

Furthermore both candidates - each of whom have previous links to the club - are part of the names to be evaluated by the Wolves leadership.

Edwards is presently at Middlesbrough, which would create a potential obstacle to his appointment at Wolves' stadium.

However the ex- Luton Town manager - who played over a century of games for the club during his playing career - is considered a strong contender for the position.

The 42-year-old is said to have support 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 given he was released by Wolves in December last year.

The ex- West Ham United player is out of work meaning the club would not need to provide any buyout fee.
