🔗 Share this article Rob Edwards as well as O'Neil Included in Wolverhampton Wanderers Managerial Contenders Rob Edwards together with O'Neil each possess past links with Wolves PostedJust moments ago Rob Edwards along with Gary O'Neil are two of the initial names under consideration to succeed Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers. Pereira was dismissed on the weekend following the squad's ten-game winless start to the Premier League season. Furthermore both candidates - both of who have historic links to the team - are part of the options to be evaluated by the Wolves ownership. The manager is presently at another club, which would create a potential hurdle to his hiring at Wolves' stadium. Nevertheless the former Luton 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 backing from the Wolves directors as they start the search of hiring a new manager. Gary O'Neil is also appearing as a surprise candidate, although he would be a surprising appointment considering he was released by the club in December last year. The former West Ham midfielder is currently unemployed which means Wolves would not be required to provide any compensation.
