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

Pereira was dismissed on the weekend after the squad's 10-match without a victory beginning to the top-flight season.

Furthermore both candidates - each of whom have historic links to the club - are part of the options to be evaluated by the Wolves leadership.

Edwards is presently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a possible obstacle to his hiring at Molineux.

However the ex- Luton manager - who made more than 100 of appearances for Wolves during his playing career - is considered a leading candidate for the position.

The mid-career manager is said to have backing from the club directors as they start the search of hiring a new head coach.

O'Neil is also emerging as a surprise contender, although he would be a surprising appointment given he was released by Wolves in the previous winter.

The ex- West Ham player is currently unemployed which means the club would not be required to pay any compensation.
