Rob Edwards and O'Neil are two of the initial candidates in the frame to replace the former manager as head coach of Wolves.

The previous coach was sacked on Sunday following the squad's ten-game winless beginning to the top-flight season.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have previous links to the club - are part of the options to be considered by the club ownership.

Edwards is currently at another club, which would create a potential obstacle to his hiring at Wolves' stadium.

Nevertheless the former Luton Town manager - who made more than 100 of appearances for the club during his time as a player - is considered a leading contender for the vacancy.

The mid-career manager is said to have backing from the Wolves board as they start the search of appointing a new head coach.

O'Neil is additionally appearing as a unexpected contender, although he would be a surprising choice given he was released by Wolves in the previous winter.

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