Edwards along with Gary O'Neil are two of the early names under consideration to replace the former manager as head coach of Wolves.

Pereira was sacked on the weekend after the team's 10-match winless start to the top-flight season.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have previous associations to the team - are part of the names to be evaluated by the Wolves ownership.

Edwards is presently at Middlesbrough, which would create a possible hurdle to his hiring at Wolves' stadium.

Nevertheless the former Luton Town manager - who made over a century of games for Wolves during his time as a player - is considered a leading candidate for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is said to have support from the Wolves directors as they start the search of appointing a fresh head coach.

O'Neil is additionally emerging as a unexpected candidate, even though he would be a surprising appointment considering he was released by the club in the previous winter.

The ex- West Ham player is currently unemployed meaning Wolves would not be required to pay any compensation.
