The manager is presently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a potential hurdle to his hiring at Molineux.

However the ex- Luton head coach - who made over a century of games for Wolves during his playing career - is said to be a leading contender for the position.

The mid-career manager is reportedly enjoys backing from the club board as they begin the search of appointing a new head coach.

Gary O'Neil is additionally appearing as a unexpected contender, even though he would be a shock appointment considering he was sacked by Wolves in the previous winter.
