Rob Edwards and O'Neil represent the initial candidates in the frame to replace the former manager as head coach of Wolves.

Pereira was sacked on Sunday following the team's 10-match without a victory beginning to the Premier League campaign.

Furthermore both candidates - both of who have previous associations to the club - are part of the options to be evaluated by the club ownership.

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

However the former Luton head coach - who played more than 100 of games for the club during his playing career - is said to be a leading candidate for the vacancy.

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

Gary O'Neil is additionally emerging as a unexpected contender, even though he would be a surprising choice given he was released by the club in the previous winter.

The ex- West Ham United player is out of work which means Wolves would not need to pay any buyout fee.
