Rob Edwards along with Gary O'Neil are two of the early candidates under consideration to succeed the former manager as manager of Wolves.

Pereira was sacked on the weekend following the squad's ten-game winless start to the Premier League campaign.

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

Edwards is currently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a potential obstacle to his hiring at Molineux.

However the ex- Luton Town head coach - who made more than 100 of games for Wolves during his playing career - is considered a leading candidate for the position.

The mid-career manager is said to have backing from the Wolves board as they begin the process of hiring a fresh manager.

Gary O'Neil is also emerging as a surprise contender, although he would be a shock choice given he was sacked by the club in December last year.

The former West Ham player is currently unemployed which means the club would not need to provide any buyout fee.
