Rob Edwards along with O'Neil represent the initial names under consideration to succeed Vitor Pereira as head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pereira was sacked on Sunday following the squad's ten-game without a victory start to the Premier League campaign.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - both of who have historic associations to the club - are among the options to be considered by the club leadership.

Edwards is currently at Middlesbrough, which would create a possible obstacle to his hiring at Molineux.

However the ex- Luton Town head coach - who made over a century of games for the club during his playing career - is said to be a strong contender for the vacancy.

The mid-career manager is reportedly enjoys support from the Wolves board as they start the process of appointing a fresh head coach.

O'Neil is additionally appearing as a unexpected candidate, although he would be a shock choice given he was released by Wolves in the previous winter.

The ex- West Ham United midfielder is out of work meaning the club would not be required to provide any buyout fee.
