Rob Edwards along with O'Neil represent the early candidates under consideration to succeed the former manager as head coach of Wolves.

Pereira was dismissed on Sunday after the team's ten-game without a victory start to the Premier League season.

And both candidates - each of whom have historic associations to the team - are among the options to be evaluated by the Wolves leadership.

Edwards is presently at another club, which would pose a potential obstacle to his hiring at Molineux.

Nevertheless the ex- Luton Town manager - who made over a century of appearances for the club during his time as a player - is considered a strong contender for the vacancy.

The mid-career manager is said to have support from the Wolves directors as they start the process of hiring a fresh head coach.

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

The ex- West Ham player is currently unemployed meaning Wolves would not need to provide any compensation.
