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

Nevertheless the ex- Luton head coach - who made over a century of games for Wolves during his time as a player - is considered a strong candidate for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is reportedly enjoys backing from the club board as they start the process of hiring a new head coach.
