Rob Edwards and O'Neil are two of the initial candidates under consideration to succeed the former manager as head coach of Wolves.

Pereira was sacked on Sunday after the squad's 10-match winless beginning to the Premier League season.

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

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

However the ex- Luton Town manager - who played more than 100 of games for Wolves during his time as a player - is considered a strong contender for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is said to have backing from the Wolves board as they start the process of hiring a new manager.

O'Neil is also appearing as a unexpected contender, even though he would be a shock choice considering he was sacked by the club in December last year.

The ex- West Ham midfielder is out of work meaning Wolves would not be required to pay any buyout fee.
