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

Pereira was dismissed on Sunday after the squad's 10-match winless start to the top-flight campaign.

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

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

Nevertheless the former Luton Town head coach - who played over a century of appearances for Wolves during his time as a player - is considered a strong contender for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is said to have backing from the Wolves board as they start the search of appointing a new head coach.

O'Neil is additionally appearing as a unexpected candidate, even though he would be a shock choice given he was sacked by Wolves in December last year.

The ex- West Ham United midfielder is out of work which means Wolves would not be required to provide any buyout fee.
