Rob Edwards along with O'Neil are two of the initial names under consideration to replace Vitor Pereira as head coach of Wolves.

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

And both candidates - each of whom have historic associations to the team - are among the names to be evaluated by the club ownership.

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

Nevertheless the ex- Luton head coach - who played more than 100 of appearances for Wolves during his playing career - is considered a strong contender for the position.

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

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

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