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

Pereira was dismissed on the weekend following the team's 10-match winless start to the top-flight season.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have previous associations to the club - are part of the options to be considered by the Wolves ownership.

Edwards is currently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a possible hurdle to his hiring at Wolves' stadium.

Nevertheless the former Luton head coach - who played over a century of games for the club during his playing career - is considered a leading contender for the position.

The mid-career manager is said to have support from the club directors as they start the process of appointing a fresh manager.

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

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