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

The previous coach was dismissed on Sunday after the team's ten-game winless start to the Premier League season.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have historic associations to the team - are part of the names to be considered by the Wolves ownership.

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

However the former Luton Town head coach - who played over a century of games for the club during his playing career - is said to be a strong contender for the vacancy.

The mid-career manager is said to have backing from the club board as they start the search of appointing a fresh head coach.

O'Neil is additionally emerging as a unexpected contender, although he would be a shock appointment considering he was released by the club in December last year.

The former West Ham United midfielder is out of work which means Wolves would not be required to pay any buyout fee.
