Edwards and O'Neil represent the initial candidates in the frame to succeed the former manager as manager of Wolves.

Pereira was dismissed on the weekend after the squad's ten-game without a victory beginning to the top-flight season.

And both candidates - both of who have historic links to the club - are among the names to be considered by the club leadership.

The manager is currently at another club, which would create a possible obstacle to his hiring at Wolves' stadium.

However the former Luton Town head coach - who played more than 100 of games for Wolves during his time as a player - is said to be a leading candidate for the vacancy.

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

Gary O'Neil is also appearing as a unexpected contender, even though he would be a surprising choice given he was released by Wolves in the previous winter.

The ex- West Ham player is out of work meaning the club would not be required to provide any buyout fee.
