Edwards and Gary O'Neil represent the initial candidates under consideration to succeed Vitor Pereira as head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pereira was sacked on Sunday after the team's 10-match winless beginning to the Premier League season.

Furthermore both candidates - both of who have previous links to the club - are among the options to be evaluated by the club leadership.

Edwards is presently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a possible obstacle to his hiring at Molineux.

However the former Luton head coach - who made over a century of games for the club during his time as a player - is said to be a strong candidate for the position.

The 42-year-old is said to have backing from the club directors as they begin the process of appointing a fresh manager.

Gary O'Neil is additionally appearing as a surprise contender, although he would be a surprising appointment given he was released by Wolves in the previous winter.

The ex- West Ham midfielder is out of work meaning Wolves would not need to provide any buyout fee.
