Edwards and Gary O'Neil represent the initial candidates in the frame to succeed the former manager as head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The previous coach was sacked on the weekend after the squad's ten-game without a victory beginning to the top-flight campaign.

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

Edwards is presently at another club, which would create a potential hurdle to his hiring at Molineux.

However the former Luton Town head coach - who made more than 100 of games for the club during his time as a player - is said to be a strong contender for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is said to have backing from the Wolves board as they begin the process of hiring a new manager.

O'Neil is additionally appearing as a unexpected contender, although he would be a surprising appointment given he was released by the club in December last year.

The former West Ham United player is currently unemployed meaning Wolves would not need to provide any compensation.
