Edwards along with O'Neil are two of the initial candidates under consideration to replace Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The previous coach was dismissed on the weekend following the team's ten-game without a victory start to the top-flight season.

Furthermore both candidates - each of whom have previous associations to the team - are among the names to be evaluated by the Wolves ownership.

The manager is presently at another club, which would pose a possible obstacle to his hiring at Wolves' stadium.

However the former Luton manager - who played over a century of appearances for Wolves during his playing career - is considered a leading candidate for the position.

The 42-year-old is reportedly enjoys backing from the club directors as they begin the process of appointing a new head coach.

O'Neil is additionally emerging as a surprise contender, even though he would be a shock choice considering he was released by Wolves in December last year.

The ex- West Ham midfielder is currently unemployed which means the club would not be required to provide any buyout fee.
