🔗 Share this article Edwards and Gary O'Neil Among Wolves Managerial Candidates Rob Edwards together with O'Neil each possess past links with the club Posted8 minutes ago Rob Edwards along with O'Neil represent the early candidates in the frame to succeed the former manager as head coach of Wolves. The previous coach was dismissed on Sunday following the team's 10-match without a victory start to the top-flight campaign. Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have previous links to the team - are among the options to be evaluated by the Wolves ownership. The manager is currently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a potential hurdle to his appointment at Wolves' stadium. However the former Luton Town manager - who played more than 100 of appearances for Wolves during his time as a player - is said to be a leading candidate for the position. The 42-year-old is said to have support from the Wolves board as they begin the process of hiring a new head coach. O'Neil is additionally emerging as a surprise contender, although he would be a surprising choice considering he was released by Wolves in December last year. The former West Ham United player is out of work which means the club would not be required to pay any buyout fee.
