Rob Edwards and Gary O'Neil are two of the early candidates under consideration to succeed Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pereira was sacked on Sunday after the team's ten-game without a victory beginning to the Premier League season.

Furthermore both candidates - each of whom have previous associations to the club - are among the options to be evaluated by the Wolves ownership.

The manager is presently at another club, which would create a potential hurdle to his appointment at Wolves' stadium.

Nevertheless the ex- Luton Town head coach - who made over a century of games for Wolves during his playing career - is said to be a leading candidate for the position.

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

O'Neil is additionally emerging as a unexpected contender, although he would be a surprising appointment given he was released by Wolves in December last year.

The ex- West Ham United midfielder is currently unemployed which means Wolves would not be required to pay any buyout fee.
