Edwards along with Gary O'Neil are two of the early candidates in the frame to succeed the former manager as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pereira was dismissed on Sunday after the squad's ten-game without a victory beginning to the Premier League campaign.

And Edwards and O'Neil - both of who have historic associations to the club - are part of the names to be evaluated by the Wolves ownership.

Edwards is presently at another club, which would pose a possible obstacle to his hiring at Molineux.

However 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 strong contender for the vacancy.

The mid-career manager is reportedly enjoys backing from the Wolves board as they start the search of hiring a fresh manager.

Gary O'Neil is additionally emerging as a unexpected contender, although he would be a surprising choice given he was sacked by the club in the previous winter.

The ex- West Ham United midfielder is currently unemployed which means Wolves would not be required to provide any compensation.
