Edwards and O'Neil are two of the early candidates under consideration to succeed the former manager as head coach of Wolves.

Pereira was dismissed on Sunday after the squad's ten-game without a victory start to the top-flight campaign.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have previous associations to the team - are part of the options to be considered by the Wolves ownership.

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

Nevertheless the ex- Luton Town manager - who made over a century of games for the club during his time as a player - is considered a leading candidate for the vacancy.

The mid-career manager is said to have backing from the Wolves directors as they begin the search of hiring a fresh head coach.

Gary O'Neil is additionally emerging as a surprise contender, although he would be a shock choice given he was released by Wolves in December last year.

The former West Ham United player is out of work meaning Wolves would not need to provide any buyout fee.
