Edwards along with Gary O'Neil are two of the early candidates under consideration to replace Vitor Pereira as head coach of Wolves.

The previous coach was dismissed on the weekend after the squad's 10-match without a victory start to the top-flight campaign.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - both of who have previous links to the club - are part of the names to be considered by the Wolves leadership.

The manager is presently at another club, which would pose a potential obstacle to his hiring at Wolves' stadium.

Nevertheless the former Luton Town head coach - who made over a century of appearances for the club during his time as a player - is said to be a leading candidate for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is reportedly enjoys backing from the Wolves directors as they begin the process of hiring a fresh manager.

O'Neil is additionally emerging as a unexpected contender, although he would be a surprising appointment given he was released by the club in December last year.

The ex- West Ham midfielder is currently unemployed meaning the club would not need to pay any compensation.
