Edwards and Gary O'Neil represent the early names under consideration to replace the former manager as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The previous coach was dismissed on the weekend after the squad's 10-match without a victory start to the Premier League campaign.

Furthermore both candidates - each of whom have historic associations to the club - are part of the options to be evaluated by the club ownership.

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

However the former Luton manager - who made over a century of appearances for Wolves during his time as a player - is considered a strong contender for the position.

The 42-year-old is said to have support from the club board as they start the process of appointing a new manager.

Gary O'Neil is additionally emerging as a unexpected candidate, although he would be a surprising appointment given he was released by the club in the previous winter.

The ex- West Ham player is currently unemployed meaning Wolves would not need to pay any compensation.
