Rob Edwards and O'Neil represent the early candidates under consideration to replace the former manager as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pereira was dismissed on Sunday following the team's ten-game without a victory start to the Premier League campaign.

Furthermore both candidates - each of whom have historic associations to the team - are among the options to be evaluated by the club ownership.

The manager is presently at another club, which would create a possible obstacle to his hiring at Molineux.

However the ex- Luton head coach - who played more than 100 of games for the club during his playing career - is considered a leading contender for the position.

The mid-career manager is said to have backing from the club directors as they begin the process of hiring a fresh manager.

O'Neil is additionally appearing as a surprise candidate, although he would be a surprising appointment given he was released by Wolves in December last year.

The former West Ham midfielder is currently unemployed meaning Wolves would not need to provide any buyout fee.
