Edwards and Gary O'Neil are two of the early names in the frame to succeed the former manager as head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

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

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have historic links to the club - are part of the options to be considered by the Wolves leadership.

Edwards is presently at another club, which would pose a possible hurdle to his appointment at Wolves' stadium.

Nevertheless the former Luton Town head coach - who played over a century of games for Wolves during his time as a player - is said to be a leading contender for the position.

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

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

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