Edwards and Gary O'Neil represent the early candidates in the frame to replace the former manager as head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The previous coach was dismissed on the weekend after the team's ten-game winless start to the Premier League campaign.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have historic links to the club - are among the options to be evaluated by the club leadership.

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

Nevertheless the ex- Luton Town head coach - who made more than 100 of appearances for the club during his playing career - is considered a leading candidate for the position.

The 42-year-old is reportedly enjoys backing from the club board as they start the search of appointing a fresh manager.

O'Neil is also appearing as a surprise contender, even though he would be a shock appointment considering he was sacked by Wolves in December last year.

The ex- West Ham United midfielder is currently unemployed meaning Wolves would not be required to pay any buyout fee.
