Edwards along with O'Neil are two of the initial candidates 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 beginning to the Premier League season.

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

The manager is currently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a potential hurdle to his appointment at Molineux.

Nevertheless the former Luton Town manager - who played more than 100 of games for the club during his playing career - is said to be a leading candidate for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is said to have support from the club board as they start the process of appointing a new head coach.

O'Neil is additionally appearing as a unexpected contender, even though he would be a surprising choice given he was sacked by Wolves in the previous winter.

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