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

Pereira was dismissed on the weekend after the squad's 10-match winless beginning to the top-flight campaign.

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

The manager is currently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a potential obstacle to his hiring at Molineux.

Nevertheless the former Luton Town manager - who played over a century of appearances for Wolves during his playing career - is considered a strong contender for the vacancy.

The mid-career manager is reportedly enjoys backing from the Wolves directors as they start the search of hiring a new head coach.

O'Neil is also appearing as a unexpected contender, even though he would be a shock appointment given he was sacked by the club in the previous winter.

The ex- West Ham United player is currently unemployed which means Wolves would not be required to provide any compensation.
