Edwards as well as O'Neil Included in Wolves Managerial Candidates
Edwards and O'Neil both have past links with Wolves
- PostedJust moments ago
Rob Edwards along with O'Neil are two of the early names in the frame to replace Vitor Pereira as head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Pereira was sacked on the weekend following the team's ten-game winless start to the Premier League campaign.
And both candidates - each of whom have historic links to the team - are among the names to be evaluated by the Wolves leadership.
Edwards is presently at another club, which would create a possible hurdle to his hiring at Molineux.
Nevertheless the former Luton Town head coach - who played more than 100 of games for Wolves during his time as a player - is said to be a leading contender for the position.
The 42-year-old is said to have backing from the club board as they begin the search of hiring a fresh manager.
Gary O'Neil is also emerging as a surprise contender, although he would be a shock appointment considering he was sacked by the club in the previous winter.
The ex- West Ham midfielder is out of work which means the club would not need to pay any buyout fee.
