Rob Edwards along with O'Neil represent the early candidates in the frame to replace Vitor Pereira as head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pereira was sacked on the weekend following the squad's ten-game without a victory beginning to the top-flight campaign.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - both of who have historic links to the club - are part of the options to be considered by the Wolves ownership.

The manager is presently at another club, which would pose a possible hurdle to his hiring at Molineux.

Nevertheless the former Luton manager - who played more than 100 of appearances for the club during his playing career - is said to be a leading contender for the position.

The mid-career manager is said to have backing from the Wolves board as they begin the process of appointing a fresh head coach.

O'Neil is also appearing as a surprise candidate, even though he would be a surprising choice considering he was released by Wolves in the previous winter.

The ex- West Ham midfielder is out of work which means Wolves would not be required to provide any compensation.
