🔗 Share this article Edwards as well as Gary O'Neil Among Wolves Head Coach Contenders Rob Edwards and Gary O'Neil both have past links with Wolves PostedJust moments ago Rob Edwards along with O'Neil represent the early candidates in the frame to succeed Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolves. Pereira was sacked on Sunday after the team's 10-match winless start to the top-flight campaign. Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - both of who have historic associations to the team - are among the options to be considered by the Wolves ownership. The manager is currently at another club, which would create a potential obstacle to his hiring at Wolves' stadium. However the ex- Luton Town head coach - who made over a century of games for the club during his time as a player - is considered a leading contender for the position. The 42-year-old is said to have support from the Wolves directors as they begin the search of appointing a new manager. O'Neil is also appearing as a surprise candidate, even though he would be a shock choice given he was sacked by the club in December last year. The former West Ham United midfielder is out of work meaning the club would not be required to provide any compensation.
