Rob Edwards and O'Neil represent the initial candidates in the frame to replace the former manager as head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

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

And both candidates - both of who have historic links to the team - are among the names to be evaluated by the club leadership.

Edwards is currently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a potential hurdle to his hiring at Wolves' stadium.

However the ex- Luton head coach - who played over a century of games for Wolves during his time as a player - is considered a leading contender for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is said to have support from the Wolves directors as they begin the process of appointing a new manager.

Gary O'Neil is also emerging as a unexpected contender, although he would be a shock appointment given he was sacked by Wolves in the previous winter.

The former West Ham United player is out of work meaning the club would not be required to provide any compensation.
