Edwards along with Gary O'Neil are two of the initial names under consideration to succeed Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pereira was sacked on Sunday after the squad's ten-game winless beginning to the Premier League campaign.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have previous associations to the club - are among the names to be evaluated by the club leadership.

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

Nevertheless the ex- Luton Town manager - who made more than 100 of games for Wolves during his playing career - is said to be a strong contender for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is reportedly enjoys backing from the Wolves directors as they start the search of hiring a new head coach.

O'Neil is additionally emerging as a surprise candidate, although he would be a shock appointment given he was sacked by Wolves in December last year.

The ex- West Ham midfielder is currently unemployed which means the club would not need to provide any compensation.
