Edwards and O'Neil are two of the initial names under consideration to succeed the former manager as manager of Wolves.

Pereira was sacked on the weekend following the squad's ten-game without a victory start to the top-flight campaign.

And both candidates - each of whom have historic associations to the club - are part of the options to be considered by the club leadership.

The manager is currently at another club, which would pose a potential hurdle to his hiring at Molineux.

However the former Luton Town head coach - who played over a century of games for the club during his time as a player - is considered a strong candidate for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is said to have support from the Wolves board as they start the process of appointing a fresh head coach.

Gary O'Neil is also appearing as a unexpected candidate, even though he would be a shock appointment given he was sacked by the club in December last year.

The former West Ham midfielder is out of work which means the club would not need to pay any compensation.
