Edwards along with Gary O'Neil are two of the early names in the frame to replace the former manager as head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pereira was dismissed on Sunday following the squad's ten-game winless beginning to the Premier League season.

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

Edwards is currently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a potential obstacle to his appointment at Molineux.

Nevertheless the former Luton head coach - who played over a century of appearances for Wolves during his time as a player - is considered a leading contender for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is reportedly enjoys support from the Wolves board as they begin the process of hiring a fresh head coach.

Gary O'Neil is additionally appearing as a surprise contender, although he would be a shock appointment given he was sacked by the club in the previous winter.

The ex- West Ham United midfielder is currently unemployed meaning the club would not need to provide any compensation.
