The previous coach was sacked on Sunday after the squad's 10-match without a victory beginning to the Premier League season.

And both candidates - each of whom have previous links to the club - are part of the names to be considered by the club ownership.

The manager is presently at Middlesbrough, which would create a potential obstacle to his appointment at Wolves' stadium.

Nevertheless the ex- Luton Town head coach - who made more than 100 of games for the club during his time as a player - is considered a strong candidate for the vacancy.

The mid-career manager is said to have backing from the club directors as they start the search of hiring a new manager.

O'Neil is additionally emerging as a surprise candidate, although he would be a shock appointment considering he was sacked by the club in December last year.

The ex- West Ham player is out of work meaning Wolves would not be required to provide any buyout fee.
