Rob Edwards and Gary O'Neil represent the initial candidates in the frame to succeed the former manager as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pereira was dismissed on Sunday after the squad's 10-match winless start to the top-flight campaign.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - both of who have historic associations to the team - are among the names to be evaluated by the Wolves leadership.

The manager is currently at another club, which would create a potential obstacle to his hiring at Wolves' stadium.

Nevertheless the former Luton Town head coach - who made over a century of games for the club during his playing career - is said to be a leading contender for the position.

The mid-career manager is said to have backing from the Wolves directors as they begin the search of appointing a fresh manager.

O'Neil is additionally emerging as a surprise candidate, even though he would be a shock choice given he was released by the club in December last year.

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