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

The previous coach was sacked on Sunday following the squad's ten-game without a victory start to the Premier League campaign.

And Edwards and O'Neil - both of who have historic associations to the club - are part of the names to be evaluated by the Wolves leadership.

The manager is currently at Middlesbrough, which would create a potential obstacle to his appointment at Molineux.

Nevertheless the ex- Luton manager - who played over a century of games for Wolves during his time as a player - is said to be a leading contender for the vacancy.

The mid-career manager is said to have support from the Wolves directors as they begin the process of hiring a new manager.

O'Neil is additionally appearing as a unexpected candidate, even though he would be a surprising appointment given he was released by the club in December last year.

The ex- West Ham player is out of work which means Wolves would not be required to pay any compensation.
