Rob Edwards and O'Neil are two of the initial names in the frame to replace the former manager as head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pereira was sacked on the weekend following the team's ten-game winless beginning to the top-flight campaign.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have historic associations to the team - are part of the options to be evaluated by the club leadership.

Edwards is currently at Middlesbrough, which would create a possible hurdle to his appointment at Molineux.

Nevertheless the ex- Luton Town manager - who made over a century of appearances for Wolves during his playing career - is considered a strong contender for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is said to have support from the club board as they start the process of hiring a new head coach.

Gary O'Neil is additionally appearing as a surprise contender, even though he would be a surprising choice given he was released by Wolves in December last year.

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