Rob Edwards and O'Neil are two of the early names in the frame to replace the former manager as head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The previous coach was sacked on the weekend after the team's ten-game without a victory start to the Premier League campaign.

Furthermore both candidates - both of who have previous associations to the team - are part of the options to be evaluated by the Wolves ownership.

Edwards is currently at another club, which would pose a potential hurdle to his hiring at Wolves' stadium.

Nevertheless the former Luton manager - who played more than 100 of games for the club during his time as a player - is considered a leading contender for the vacancy.

The mid-career manager is reportedly enjoys backing from the club directors as they begin the search of appointing a new manager.

Gary O'Neil is additionally emerging as a surprise candidate, although he would be a shock choice given he was sacked by Wolves in the previous winter.

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