Rob Edwards along with Gary O'Neil are two of the initial candidates under consideration to replace the former manager as head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pereira was sacked on the weekend after the team's 10-match winless start to the Premier League season.

Furthermore both candidates - each of whom have previous associations to the club - are part of the options to be considered by the Wolves leadership.

Edwards is currently at Middlesbrough, which would create a potential hurdle to his hiring at Molineux.

Nevertheless the former Luton Town manager - who made over a century of appearances for Wolves during his playing career - is considered a leading contender for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is said to have backing from the club board as they begin the process of appointing a fresh manager.

Gary O'Neil is additionally appearing as a surprise contender, although he would be a surprising appointment considering he was sacked by the club in December last year.

The former West Ham United midfielder is out of work which means Wolves would not be required to pay any compensation.
