Edwards along with Gary O'Neil represent the initial candidates under consideration to succeed the former manager as head coach of Wolves.

The previous coach was sacked on Sunday after the squad's ten-game winless start to the Premier League campaign.

Furthermore both candidates - both of who have historic links to the team - are among the names to be evaluated by the Wolves ownership.

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

However the former Luton Town head coach - who made more than 100 of appearances for Wolves during his time as a player - is said to be a leading contender for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is said to have support from the Wolves directors as they start the search of appointing a fresh head coach.

Gary O'Neil is also appearing as a unexpected contender, although he would be a shock appointment given he was released by the club in December last year.

The ex- West Ham midfielder is out of work which means Wolves would not be required to pay any compensation.
