Rob Edwards along with Gary O'Neil represent the early candidates in the frame to succeed the former manager as manager of Wolves.

The previous coach was dismissed on Sunday following the team's 10-match without a victory beginning to the Premier League season.

And Edwards and O'Neil - both of who have previous associations to the club - are part of the names to be evaluated by the club ownership.

Edwards is currently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a potential obstacle to his appointment at Molineux.

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

The 42-year-old is said to have support from the Wolves board as they start the search of hiring a fresh manager.

Gary O'Neil is additionally appearing as a unexpected candidate, although he would be a surprising appointment considering he was sacked by the club in the previous winter.

The former West Ham United midfielder is out of work meaning the club would not be required to pay any compensation.
