Rob Edwards and Gary O'Neil represent the initial candidates in the frame to replace the former manager as manager of Wolves.

Pereira was sacked on the weekend following the squad's ten-game winless start to the top-flight season.

And both candidates - both of who have historic associations to the team - are part of the options to be considered by the Wolves leadership.

The manager is presently at another club, which would pose a possible hurdle to his hiring at Wolves' stadium.

Nevertheless the ex- Luton Town manager - who played over a century of appearances for the club during his playing career - is said to be a strong candidate for the position.

The mid-career manager is said to have support from the club directors as they start the search of appointing a fresh manager.

Gary O'Neil is additionally emerging as a unexpected contender, although he would be a shock choice considering he was released by the club in December last year.

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