Edwards and Gary O'Neil represent the initial names in the frame to succeed the former manager as head coach of Wolves.

Pereira was sacked on the weekend following the team's 10-match without a victory start to the top-flight campaign.

And Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have previous links to the club - are part of the options to be evaluated by the Wolves ownership.

The manager is currently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a potential hurdle to his appointment at Molineux.

However the ex- Luton Town manager - who played over a century of games for the club during his time as a player - is said to be a strong contender for the position.

The mid-career manager is said to have backing from the club directors as they start the process of appointing a fresh manager.

Gary O'Neil is also appearing as a surprise contender, even though he would be a shock choice considering he was sacked by the club in the previous winter.

The former West Ham player is currently unemployed which means the club would not need to pay any buyout fee.
