Edwards and Gary O'Neil represent the early names under consideration to replace the former manager as head coach of Wolves.

Pereira was sacked on the weekend after the squad's 10-match without a victory beginning to the top-flight season.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - both of who have historic associations to the team - are among the options to be considered by the club leadership.

Edwards is currently at another club, which would create a possible obstacle to his appointment at Molineux.

Nevertheless the ex- Luton Town head coach - who made over a century of appearances for the club during his time as a player - is considered a strong candidate for the position.

The mid-career manager is said to have support from the club directors as they begin the process of appointing a fresh head coach.

Gary O'Neil is additionally appearing as a surprise candidate, even though he would be a shock choice given he was sacked by the club in the previous winter.

The former West Ham United midfielder is currently unemployed meaning Wolves would not be required to provide any buyout fee.
