Rob Edwards and Gary O'Neil are two of the early candidates under consideration to succeed Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolves.

Pereira was dismissed on the weekend after the squad's ten-game without a victory beginning to the top-flight season.

Furthermore both candidates - each of whom have previous associations to the club - are part of the options to be evaluated by the club ownership.

Edwards is presently at Middlesbrough, which would create a possible obstacle to his appointment at Wolves' stadium.

Nevertheless the former Luton Town head coach - who made more than 100 of appearances for Wolves during his playing career - is considered a strong candidate for the position.

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

Gary O'Neil is additionally emerging as a unexpected candidate, even though he would be a shock appointment considering he was sacked by Wolves in December last year.

The ex- West Ham United player is out of work meaning Wolves would not be required to provide any buyout fee.
