Edwards along with O'Neil represent the early names under consideration to succeed the former manager as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pereira was dismissed on Sunday following the team's 10-match winless start to the top-flight season.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - both of who have historic associations to the club - are among the names to be evaluated by the club ownership.

Edwards is presently at Middlesbrough, which would create a potential obstacle to his hiring at Wolves' stadium.

Nevertheless the ex- Luton manager - who made more than 100 of appearances for the club during his time as a player - is considered a leading candidate for the position.

The 42-year-old is reportedly enjoys backing from the Wolves directors as they start the process of appointing a new head coach.

Gary O'Neil is also emerging as a unexpected candidate, even though he would be a surprising appointment given he was sacked by the club in December last year.

The former West Ham player is out of work meaning Wolves would not be required to pay any compensation.
