Rob Edwards and Gary O'Neil Among Wolves Managerial Candidates
Edwards together with Gary O'Neil both have past connections with the club
- PublishedJust moments ago
Edwards along with Gary O'Neil represent the initial candidates under consideration to replace Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Pereira was sacked on the weekend after the squad's 10-match winless start to the top-flight campaign.
And both candidates - each of whom have historic links to the club - are among the options to be considered by the Wolves leadership.
The manager is presently at Middlesbrough, which would create a possible hurdle to his hiring at Molineux.
Nevertheless the former Luton Town head coach - who made over a century of games for the club during his time as a player - is said to be a leading contender for the vacancy.
The 42-year-old is said to have support from the Wolves directors as they start the process of hiring a new head coach.
O'Neil is also emerging as a surprise contender, although he would be a shock appointment considering he was released by Wolves in December last year.
The former West Ham midfielder is currently unemployed which means Wolves would not need to provide any compensation.
