Rob Edwards along with Gary O'Neil are two of the initial candidates in the frame to succeed the former manager as head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The previous coach was sacked on Sunday following the team's ten-game winless beginning to the top-flight season.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have historic links to the club - are part of the options to be evaluated by the club leadership.

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

However the former Luton Town manager - who made more than 100 of appearances for the club during his playing career - is considered a leading candidate for the vacancy.

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

Gary O'Neil is additionally appearing as a unexpected candidate, although he would be a surprising choice considering he was sacked by the club in the previous winter.

The former West Ham United player is out of work which means Wolves would not need to provide any buyout fee.
