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

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

Furthermore both candidates - both of who have previous links to the team - are among the names to be considered by the club ownership.

The manager is currently at another club, which would create a possible hurdle to his appointment at Molineux.

However the ex- Luton head coach - who made more than 100 of games for Wolves during his time as a player - is said to be a leading contender for the vacancy.

The mid-career manager is said to have backing from the Wolves directors as they start the search of appointing a new head coach.

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

The former West Ham player is out of work which means the club would not be required to pay any buyout fee.
