Rob Edwards along with Gary O'Neil represent the initial names under consideration to succeed Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolves.

Pereira was dismissed on Sunday after the team's ten-game without a victory beginning to the Premier League season.

And Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have historic links to the team - are among the names to be considered by the Wolves leadership.

Edwards is presently at Middlesbrough, which would create a possible obstacle to his appointment at Molineux.

Nevertheless the ex- Luton Town head coach - who made over a century of games for Wolves during his playing career - is considered a leading contender for the vacancy.

The mid-career manager is reportedly enjoys support from the club board as they begin the search of hiring a new head coach.

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

The ex- West Ham United player is out of work meaning Wolves would not need to pay any compensation.
