Rob Edwards and O'Neil represent the initial names under consideration to replace Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolves.

The previous coach was sacked on Sunday following the squad's 10-match without a victory start to the top-flight season.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have previous links to the team - are part of the names to be considered by the Wolves ownership.

Edwards is presently at another club, which would pose a potential hurdle to his hiring at Molineux.

However the former Luton head coach - who played over a century of games for the club during his time as a player - is considered a leading contender for the vacancy.

The mid-career manager is reportedly enjoys support from the Wolves directors as they begin the process of hiring a fresh manager.

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

The former West Ham United midfielder is out of work meaning the club would not be required to provide any buyout fee.
