Edwards and Gary O'Neil are two of the initial names under consideration to replace the former manager as head coach of Wolves.

The previous coach was sacked on the weekend after the squad's ten-game without a victory beginning to the Premier League campaign.

And both candidates - each of whom have historic associations to the team - are among the options to be considered by the Wolves leadership.

Edwards is presently at Middlesbrough, which would create a potential hurdle to his hiring at Molineux.

However the former Luton manager - who played over a century of appearances for Wolves 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 board as they start the search of hiring a fresh head coach.

O'Neil is additionally emerging as a unexpected contender, even though he would be a surprising choice given he was released by Wolves in the previous winter.

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