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

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

Furthermore both candidates - each of whom have historic associations to the team - are part of the names to be considered by the Wolves ownership.

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

Nevertheless the ex- Luton head coach - who played over a century of games for the club during his time as a player - is said to be a strong contender for the vacancy.

The mid-career manager is said to have support from the Wolves board as they begin the search of hiring a fresh manager.

Gary O'Neil is also emerging as a surprise contender, even though he would be a shock appointment considering he was released by the club in the previous winter.

The former West Ham midfielder is out of work which means the club would not be required to pay any buyout fee.
