Rob Edwards along with Gary O'Neil represent the initial candidates in the frame to replace Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolves.

Pereira was dismissed on Sunday after the team's 10-match without a victory start to the Premier League campaign.

Furthermore both candidates - both of who have historic links to the team - are part of the names to be evaluated by the Wolves leadership.

Edwards is presently at another club, which would create a possible obstacle to his appointment at Wolves' stadium.

However the ex- Luton Town head coach - who made over a century of games for Wolves during his time as a player - is considered a strong candidate for the position.

The 42-year-old is reportedly enjoys backing from the Wolves board as they start the search of appointing a new manager.

Gary O'Neil is additionally appearing as a unexpected candidate, although he would be a surprising choice considering he was sacked by Wolves in the previous winter.

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