Rob Edwards along with Gary O'Neil are two of the initial candidates under consideration to succeed the former manager as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pereira was dismissed on the weekend after the squad's ten-game winless beginning to the top-flight campaign.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have previous links to the club - are among the names to be considered by the club ownership.

The manager is presently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a potential obstacle to his appointment at Molineux.

However the former Luton manager - who made more than 100 of games for the club during his time as a player - is considered a leading contender for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old 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 surprise candidate, although he would be a shock choice considering he was sacked by the club in the previous winter.

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