Edwards along with Gary O'Neil represent the initial candidates in the frame to succeed Vitor Pereira as head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The previous coach was dismissed on the weekend after the squad's ten-game winless start to the Premier League season.

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

Edwards is currently at Middlesbrough, which would create a possible hurdle to his hiring at Wolves' stadium.

However the ex- Luton Town head coach - who played over a century of games for Wolves during his playing career - is considered a strong candidate for the vacancy.

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

Gary O'Neil is additionally appearing as a surprise contender, even though he would be a shock appointment considering he was sacked by the club in the previous winter.

The former West Ham United midfielder is currently unemployed meaning the club would not be required to pay any buyout fee.
