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

Pereira was dismissed on the weekend after the team's 10-match without a victory start to the top-flight campaign.

And Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have historic associations to the team - are part of the options to be evaluated by the Wolves leadership.

The manager is presently at another club, which would pose a potential obstacle to his appointment at Molineux.

Nevertheless the former Luton Town head coach - who played over a century of appearances for Wolves during his time as a player - is considered a strong candidate for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is reportedly enjoys backing from the Wolves board as they begin the search of appointing a fresh head coach.

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

The ex- West Ham United midfielder is currently unemployed which means the club would not be required to pay any compensation.
