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

The previous coach was sacked on Sunday after the squad's 10-match winless beginning to the Premier League season.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - both of who have historic links to the team - are part of the options to be evaluated by the Wolves ownership.

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

However the former Luton Town head coach - who made more than 100 of appearances for the club during his time as a player - is said to be a leading candidate for the vacancy.

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

Gary O'Neil is additionally emerging as a unexpected candidate, even though he would be a surprising choice given he was sacked by the club in December last year.

The ex- West Ham player is out of work meaning Wolves would not need to pay any compensation.
