🔗 Share this article Rob Edwards as well as O'Neil Among Wolves Head Coach Candidates Rob Edwards together with O'Neil both have past connections with Wolves PublishedJust moments ago Rob Edwards and O'Neil are two of the early candidates under consideration to succeed the former manager as head coach of Wolves. Pereira was dismissed on Sunday following the squad's 10-match without a victory start to the top-flight season. Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have historic links to the team - are part of the names to be evaluated by the Wolves ownership. Edwards is currently at Middlesbrough, which would create a possible hurdle to his appointment at Molineux. However the ex- Luton Town manager - who made over a century of games for the club during his playing career - is said to be a strong contender for the position. The mid-career manager is said to have support from the club directors as they begin the process of hiring a new manager. Gary O'Neil is additionally emerging as a surprise candidate, although he would be a shock choice considering he was sacked by the club in the previous winter. The ex- West Ham midfielder is out of work meaning Wolves would not be required to pay any compensation.
