Edwards along with O'Neil represent the early candidates in the frame to succeed the former manager as head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pereira was sacked on Sunday following the team's 10-match winless beginning to the top-flight season.

Furthermore both candidates - each of whom have historic associations to the club - are among the options to be considered by the club leadership.

Edwards is currently at another club, which would create a potential obstacle to his appointment at Molineux.

Nevertheless the ex- Luton Town head coach - who played more than 100 of appearances for Wolves during his playing career - is said to be a strong candidate for the position.

The mid-career manager is said to have support from the club board as they begin the search of hiring a new head coach.

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

The ex- West Ham midfielder is currently unemployed meaning Wolves would not need to provide any compensation.
