Rob Edwards along with O'Neil are two of the early names in the frame to replace Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pereira was sacked on Sunday after the team's 10-match without a victory start to the top-flight season.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - both of who have historic associations to the club - are part of the options to be evaluated by the Wolves ownership.

The manager is currently at another club, which would pose a possible obstacle to his hiring at Wolves' stadium.

However the former Luton head coach - who played over a century of games for Wolves during his playing career - is said to be a strong candidate for the position.

The mid-career manager is reportedly enjoys backing from the Wolves directors as they start the search of appointing a fresh head coach.

O'Neil is additionally emerging as a surprise candidate, even though he would be a shock choice given he was sacked by the club in the previous winter.

The former West Ham United midfielder is currently unemployed which means the club would not need to pay any compensation.
