Edwards along with Gary O'Neil are two of the initial names under consideration to replace Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The previous coach was sacked on Sunday following the team's ten-game winless beginning to the top-flight campaign.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - both of who have previous links to the club - are among the names to be considered by the Wolves ownership.

The manager is presently at Middlesbrough, which would create a possible obstacle to his appointment at Wolves' stadium.

However the former Luton Town manager - who made over a century of appearances for the club during his time as a player - is considered a strong candidate for the position.

The mid-career manager is said to have backing from the club board as they start the process of appointing a fresh head coach.

O'Neil is additionally appearing as a surprise contender, although he would be a shock choice considering he was sacked by the club in the previous winter.

The ex- West Ham United player is currently unemployed meaning Wolves would not need to provide any compensation.
