Rob Edwards and Gary O'Neil represent the initial names in the frame to replace the former manager as manager of Wolves.

The previous coach was sacked on the weekend following the team's ten-game without a victory beginning to the Premier League season.

And Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have historic associations to the club - are among the options to be evaluated by the club leadership.

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

Nevertheless the former Luton Town manager - who played more than 100 of games for Wolves during his playing career - is considered a leading candidate for the vacancy.

The mid-career manager is reportedly enjoys backing from the Wolves directors as they start the search of appointing a fresh manager.

Gary O'Neil is also emerging as a unexpected contender, even though he would be a surprising appointment considering he was sacked by Wolves in the previous winter.

The former West Ham United player is out of work which means the club would not need to provide any buyout fee.
