Rob Edwards along with Gary O'Neil are two of the early names under consideration to succeed the former manager as head coach of Wolves.

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

And both candidates - each of whom have previous associations to the club - are among the names to be considered by the club ownership.

Edwards is presently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a possible obstacle to his appointment at Wolves' stadium.

However the former Luton Town head coach - who played more than 100 of games for Wolves during his playing career - is considered a strong candidate for the vacancy.

The mid-career manager is said to have support from the club board as they begin the search of appointing a fresh manager.

O'Neil is additionally emerging as a unexpected contender, even though he would be a shock appointment given he was sacked by the club in the previous winter.

The ex- West Ham player is currently unemployed meaning Wolves would not need to pay any compensation.
