Rob Edwards along with Gary O'Neil represent the early names in the frame to replace Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolves.

Pereira was dismissed on Sunday following the squad's ten-game without a victory start to the top-flight season.

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

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

Nevertheless the ex- Luton Town head coach - who played more than 100 of appearances for the club during his time as a player - is considered a strong candidate for the position.

The 42-year-old is said to have backing from the club board as they start the search of hiring a new manager.

Gary O'Neil is additionally appearing as a unexpected contender, even though he would be a shock appointment given he was sacked by Wolves in December last year.

The former West Ham United player is out of work meaning Wolves would not be required to provide any compensation.
