Edwards and Gary O'Neil represent the early candidates under consideration to succeed the former manager as head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

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

Furthermore both candidates - each of whom have previous associations to the team - are part of the names to be evaluated by the club leadership.

Edwards is presently at another club, which would create a potential obstacle to his appointment at Molineux.

However the ex- Luton head coach - who played over a century of games for the club during his time as a player - is said to be a leading contender for the position.

The mid-career manager is said to have backing from the club directors as they start the process of appointing a fresh manager.

Gary O'Neil is additionally emerging as a surprise candidate, although he would be a surprising choice given he was released by the club in December last year.

The ex- West Ham United midfielder is currently unemployed which means the club would not be required to pay any compensation.
