Rob Edwards along with O'Neil represent the initial names under consideration to succeed the former manager as manager of Wolves.

Pereira was dismissed on the weekend following the squad's 10-match winless beginning to the Premier League season.

And both candidates - each of whom have previous links to the club - are among the names to be considered by the Wolves leadership.

Edwards is presently at another club, which would create a possible obstacle to his hiring at Wolves' stadium.

However the former Luton Town head coach - who played over a century of games for the club during his time as a player - is considered a strong contender for the position.

The 42-year-old is reportedly enjoys support from the Wolves directors as they start the search of appointing a new manager.

Gary O'Neil is additionally appearing as a unexpected contender, although he would be a surprising appointment considering he was released by Wolves in December last year.

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