Edwards and Gary O'Neil are two of the early names in the frame to replace the former manager as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The previous coach was sacked on the weekend after the squad's 10-match winless beginning to the top-flight campaign.

And Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have previous associations to the club - are part of the names to be considered by the Wolves ownership.

The manager is presently at another club, which would pose a possible obstacle to his hiring at Wolves' stadium.

However the former Luton Town manager - who made over a century of games for the club during his time as a player - is said to be a leading contender for the position.

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

Gary O'Neil is additionally emerging as a surprise candidate, although he would be a shock appointment given he was released by the club in the previous winter.

The ex- West Ham player is currently unemployed meaning the club would not need to pay any buyout fee.
