Rob Edwards along with Gary O'Neil are two of the initial candidates under consideration to succeed the former manager as head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The previous coach was dismissed on Sunday after the squad's ten-game winless beginning to the top-flight campaign.

And Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have historic links to the team - are part of the names to be evaluated by the Wolves leadership.

The manager is currently at another club, which would pose a possible hurdle to his appointment at Molineux.

Nevertheless the former Luton head coach - who made more than 100 of games for Wolves during his time as a player - is considered a leading contender for the vacancy.

The mid-career manager is said to have support from the club directors as they start the search of hiring a new head coach.

O'Neil is additionally emerging as a unexpected contender, although he would be a shock appointment given he was sacked by Wolves in December last year.

The ex- West Ham United midfielder is out of work meaning the club would not need to pay any compensation.
