Edwards and Gary O'Neil are two of the initial candidates in the frame to succeed the former manager as manager of Wolves.

Pereira was dismissed on Sunday following the squad's ten-game winless beginning to the Premier League season.

And both candidates - each of whom have previous associations to the club - are among the names to be evaluated by the club ownership.

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

Nevertheless the ex- Luton manager - who made over a century of appearances for the club during his playing career - is said to be a strong candidate for the position.

The 42-year-old is said to have backing from the club board as they start the search of hiring a new head coach.

Gary O'Neil is additionally emerging as a surprise contender, although he would be a surprising appointment given he was sacked by the club in the previous winter.

The former West Ham player is out of work which means the club would not be required to pay any buyout fee.
