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

The previous coach was sacked on Sunday following the squad's 10-match without a victory start to the Premier League season.

And both candidates - both of who have previous links to the club - are part of the names to be considered by the Wolves leadership.

Edwards is presently at Middlesbrough, which would create a potential hurdle to his appointment at Molineux.

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

The 42-year-old is said to have backing from the club board as they start the search of appointing a fresh manager.

O'Neil is additionally emerging as a unexpected candidate, even though he would be a shock choice considering he was released by Wolves in the previous winter.

The former West Ham United midfielder is out of work meaning Wolves would not be required to pay any buyout fee.
