Edwards and Gary O'Neil are two of the early names in the frame to replace the former manager as manager of Wolves.

Pereira was dismissed on Sunday after the team's ten-game winless beginning to the Premier League campaign.

And Edwards and O'Neil - both of who have historic links to the team - are part of the options to be evaluated by the club ownership.

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

Nevertheless the former Luton manager - who played over a century of games for the club during his time as a player - is said to be a strong candidate for the vacancy.

The mid-career manager is reportedly enjoys backing from the club directors as they begin the search of hiring a new manager.

O'Neil is additionally appearing as a unexpected contender, even though he would be a surprising appointment given he was released by the club in the previous winter.

The former West Ham midfielder is currently unemployed meaning the club would not be required to pay any buyout fee.
