Rob Edwards and Gary O'Neil represent the early candidates under consideration to succeed the former manager as manager of Wolves.

Pereira was sacked on the weekend after the squad's 10-match without a victory beginning to the Premier League season.

Furthermore both candidates - both of who have historic associations to the club - are part of the options to be considered by the club leadership.

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

Nevertheless the ex- Luton Town manager - who played over a century of games for Wolves during his playing career - is considered a leading candidate for the position.

The 42-year-old is said to have support from the club directors as they start the process of hiring a new head coach.

O'Neil is also appearing as a unexpected candidate, even though he would be a shock appointment considering he was sacked by the club in the previous winter.

The ex- West Ham player is out of work which means the club would not need to provide any buyout fee.
