Edwards and O'Neil are two of the initial names in the frame to succeed Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The previous coach was sacked on Sunday after the squad's 10-match winless beginning to the Premier League season.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - both of who have historic associations to the team - are among the options to be considered by the club ownership.

The manager is presently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a potential obstacle to his appointment at Wolves' stadium.

Nevertheless the ex- Luton Town manager - who made more than 100 of games for the club during his time as a player - is said to be a strong contender for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is said to have support from the club directors as they begin the process of hiring a fresh manager.

O'Neil is additionally appearing as a unexpected candidate, although he would be a surprising choice considering he was sacked by Wolves in December last year.

The former West Ham player is currently unemployed which means Wolves would not need to provide any buyout fee.
