Rob Edwards along with Gary O'Neil represent the initial candidates in the frame to replace the former manager as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The previous coach was sacked on Sunday after the team's 10-match winless beginning to the top-flight season.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - both of who have previous associations to the club - are among the options to be evaluated by the Wolves ownership.

The manager is currently at Middlesbrough, which would create a possible hurdle to his hiring at Molineux.

Nevertheless the former Luton Town manager - who made over a century of appearances for Wolves during his time as a player - is considered a strong contender for the vacancy.

The mid-career manager is said to have support from the club directors as they start the search of appointing a fresh head coach.

Gary O'Neil is additionally appearing as a surprise candidate, even though he would be a shock choice given he was sacked by the club in December last year.

The former West Ham midfielder is currently unemployed meaning Wolves would not need to provide any buyout fee.
