Edwards and Gary O'Neil represent the initial candidates under consideration to succeed Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolves.

The previous coach was sacked on Sunday following the squad's ten-game winless beginning to the Premier League season.

And both candidates - both of who have historic associations to the team - are part of the options to be considered by the Wolves ownership.

The manager is presently at another club, which would create a possible hurdle to his appointment at Molineux.

Nevertheless the former Luton head coach - who made more than 100 of games for the club during his time as a player - is said to be a leading candidate for the position.

The mid-career manager is said to have backing from the Wolves directors as they begin the search of appointing a fresh manager.

O'Neil is additionally emerging as a surprise candidate, although he would be a surprising choice considering he was released by the club in the previous winter.

The former West Ham United player is currently unemployed which means the club would not be required to provide any buyout fee.
