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

Pereira was dismissed on Sunday after the squad's 10-match winless start to the top-flight season.

Furthermore both candidates - each of whom have historic links to the team - are part of the names to be considered by the Wolves leadership.

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

Nevertheless the former Luton Town manager - who played over a century of appearances for the club during his time as a player - is said to be a leading contender for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is said to have support from the club directors as they start the process of hiring a new head coach.

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

The former West Ham United player is currently unemployed which means Wolves would not be required to pay any compensation.
