Edwards together with O'Neil each possess previous connections with Wolves
Edwards along with Gary O'Neil represent the initial candidates in the frame to replace Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Pereira was dismissed on the weekend after the squad's 10-match without a victory start to the Premier League season.
Furthermore both candidates - both of who have previous links to the team - are part of the names to be considered by the Wolves ownership.
The manager is currently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a possible hurdle to his hiring at Wolves' stadium.
Nevertheless the ex- Luton Town manager - who made over a century of games for Wolves during his playing career - is considered a strong contender for the vacancy.
The 42-year-old is said to have support from the club directors as they begin the search of hiring a fresh head coach.
Gary O'Neil is additionally appearing as a surprise contender, although he would be a shock appointment considering he was sacked by Wolves in December last year.
The former West Ham United midfielder is currently unemployed which means the club would not need to provide any buyout fee.
