Rob Edwards along with Gary O'Neil represent the early names under consideration to replace the former manager as head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pereira was dismissed on the weekend following the squad's 10-match without a victory start to the top-flight season.

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

The manager is presently at another club, 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 playing career - is said to be a leading contender for the vacancy.

The mid-career manager is reportedly enjoys support from the club directors as they start the process of appointing a new head coach.

O'Neil is also emerging as a surprise candidate, although he would be a shock choice considering he was released by the club in the previous winter.

The former West Ham player is out of work meaning Wolves would not need to pay any compensation.
