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

Pereira was sacked on Sunday following the team's 10-match without a victory beginning to the Premier League season.

Furthermore both candidates - both of who have previous associations to the team - are among the names to be evaluated by the Wolves leadership.

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

Nevertheless the ex- Luton head coach - who made more than 100 of games for Wolves during his time as a player - is said to be a leading candidate for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is said to have support from the club directors as they start the search of hiring a fresh head coach.

Gary O'Neil is additionally appearing as a surprise candidate, although he would be a surprising choice given he was sacked by the club in December last year.

The ex- West Ham United player is currently unemployed which means Wolves would not need to pay any buyout fee.
