Rob Edwards and Gary O'Neil are two of the initial names in the frame to replace Vitor Pereira as head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The previous coach was dismissed on Sunday after the team's ten-game without a victory start to the top-flight campaign.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have historic associations to the team - are among the options to be considered by the Wolves leadership.

Edwards is currently at Middlesbrough, which would create a possible obstacle to his hiring at Molineux.

Nevertheless the ex- Luton Town manager - who played over a century of games for the club during his playing career - is said to be a leading contender for the position.

The mid-career manager is said to have backing from the Wolves board as they begin the search of appointing a fresh head coach.

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

The ex- West Ham player is out of work meaning Wolves would not need to pay any compensation.
