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

The previous coach was sacked on the weekend after the squad's 10-match winless beginning to the top-flight season.

Furthermore both candidates - each of whom have previous links to the team - are part of the options to be evaluated by the Wolves leadership.

Edwards is currently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a potential hurdle to his appointment at Molineux.

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

The 42-year-old is said to have support from the Wolves board as they begin the process of appointing a fresh manager.

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

The ex- West Ham United midfielder is currently unemployed which means the club would not need to pay any buyout fee.
