Edwards along with O'Neil are two of the initial candidates under consideration to replace the former manager as manager of Wolves.

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

And both candidates - each of whom have historic links to the club - are part of the options to be evaluated by the club leadership.

Edwards is presently at another club, which would create a possible obstacle to his hiring at Wolves' stadium.

However the former Luton head coach - who made more than 100 of games for the club during his time as a player - is considered a strong candidate for the position.

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

Gary O'Neil is additionally appearing as a unexpected candidate, although he would be a surprising appointment given he was sacked by Wolves in the previous winter.

The former West Ham United midfielder is currently unemployed meaning Wolves would not be required to provide any buyout fee.
