Edwards and Gary O'Neil represent the early names under consideration to replace Vitor Pereira as head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The previous coach was sacked on the weekend after the team's 10-match winless beginning to the top-flight campaign.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have historic links to the club - are part of the options to be evaluated by the club leadership.

The manager is presently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a potential obstacle to his appointment at Wolves' stadium.

However the former Luton manager - who made more than 100 of appearances for the club during his time as a player - is considered a leading contender for the vacancy.

The mid-career manager is said to have support from the Wolves directors as they begin the search of appointing a new head coach.

Gary O'Neil is additionally appearing as a surprise candidate, even though he would be a surprising choice considering he was released by the club in December last year.

The ex- West Ham United player is currently unemployed meaning the club would not be required to pay any buyout fee.
