Rob Edwards and Gary O'Neil are two of the initial candidates under consideration to succeed the former manager as manager of Wolves.

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

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

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

Nevertheless the ex- Luton head coach - who played over a century of games for Wolves during his time as a player - is said to be a leading contender for the position.

The 42-year-old is reportedly enjoys backing from the Wolves board as they start the search of hiring a fresh head coach.

Gary O'Neil is also appearing as a unexpected candidate, even though he would be a surprising appointment considering he was sacked by the club in the previous winter.

The former West Ham United midfielder is out of work which means the club would not need to pay any buyout fee.
