Edwards and Gary O'Neil represent the initial names under consideration to succeed Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolves.

The previous coach was sacked on Sunday following the squad's 10-match winless beginning to the top-flight season.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - both of who have historic associations to the club - are among the names to be evaluated by the Wolves ownership.

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

Nevertheless the former Luton head coach - who made more than 100 of games for the club during his time as a player - is said to be a leading contender for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is said to have backing from the Wolves board as they start the search of appointing a new head coach.

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

The former West Ham United player is currently unemployed meaning the club would not be required to pay any compensation.
