The manager is currently at Middlesbrough, which would create a potential obstacle to his appointment at Molineux.

Nevertheless the ex- Luton Town head coach - who played more than 100 of appearances for Wolves during his playing career - is considered a leading candidate for the vacancy.

The mid-career manager is reportedly enjoys support from the club directors as they start the process of appointing a fresh manager.
