Edwards and O'Neil represent the initial names under consideration to replace Vitor Pereira as head coach of Wolves.

The previous coach was sacked on Sunday following the team's ten-game winless beginning to the Premier League season.

And Edwards and O'Neil - both of who have previous associations to the team - are among the names to be considered by the club ownership.

Edwards is presently at another club, which would create a possible hurdle to his hiring at Molineux.

However the former Luton head coach - who made over a century of appearances for Wolves during his playing career - is said to be a leading contender for the vacancy.

The mid-career manager is said to have backing from the club board as they start the search of appointing a fresh head coach.

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

The former West Ham United player is out of work meaning the club would not need to provide any buyout fee.
