Edwards and O'Neil represent the initial candidates in the frame to succeed the former manager as head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The previous coach was dismissed on Sunday following the team's 10-match winless beginning to the Premier League season.

And Edwards and O'Neil - both of who have previous associations to the team - are part of the options to be evaluated by the club ownership.

Edwards is presently at another club, which would pose a potential obstacle to his appointment at Molineux.

However the ex- Luton head coach - who played over a century of games for Wolves during his time as a player - is said to be a leading contender for the vacancy.

The mid-career manager is reportedly enjoys backing from the Wolves board as they begin the process of appointing a new manager.

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

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