Rob Edwards along with Gary O'Neil represent the initial names in the frame to succeed Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pereira was dismissed on the weekend following the team's ten-game winless beginning to the top-flight season.

And Edwards and O'Neil - both of who have historic links to the team - are part of the options to be considered by the Wolves leadership.

Edwards is currently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a potential obstacle to his appointment at Molineux.

However the ex- Luton Town head coach - who played more than 100 of games for the club during his time as a player - is said to be a strong candidate for the position.

The 42-year-old is said to have support from the club directors as they begin the process of hiring a new manager.

O'Neil is also emerging as a unexpected candidate, although he would be a shock choice given he was released by the club in the previous winter.

The former West Ham United player is out of work which means the club would not be required to pay any compensation.
