Rob Edwards along with Gary O'Neil represent the initial candidates in the frame to replace Vitor Pereira as head coach of Wolves.

Pereira was sacked on Sunday following the team's ten-game winless start to the top-flight campaign.

And both candidates - each of whom have historic associations to the club - are among the options to be considered by the Wolves ownership.

The manager is currently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a possible hurdle to his appointment at Wolves' stadium.

Nevertheless the ex- Luton head coach - who played over a century of games for the club during his playing career - is considered a leading candidate for the position.

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

Gary O'Neil is additionally emerging as a unexpected candidate, although he would be a surprising choice given he was sacked by Wolves in December last year.

The former West Ham United player is currently unemployed which means the club would not need to provide any buyout fee.
