Edwards along with O'Neil are two of the early names under consideration to replace Vitor Pereira as head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The previous coach was sacked on Sunday following the team's 10-match winless beginning to the Premier League campaign.

And Edwards and O'Neil - both of who have historic links to the club - are among the names to be evaluated by the club leadership.

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

However the former Luton Town head coach - who made more than 100 of games for Wolves during his time as a player - is considered a leading contender for the position.

The mid-career manager is said to have support from the Wolves board as they start the search of hiring a fresh manager.

O'Neil is additionally emerging as a surprise candidate, although he would be a shock choice given he was sacked by the club in December last year.

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