Edwards along with Gary O'Neil represent the initial names under consideration to replace the former manager as head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pereira was sacked on the weekend after the team's 10-match winless beginning to the top-flight season.

Furthermore both candidates - both of who have historic links to the club - are part of the names to be evaluated by the Wolves ownership.

Edwards is presently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a possible hurdle to his appointment at Wolves' stadium.

Nevertheless the ex- Luton Town manager - who made over a century of appearances for Wolves during his time as a player - is said to be a leading candidate for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is reportedly enjoys support from the club board as they begin the process of hiring a new manager.

O'Neil is also appearing as a surprise candidate, even though he would be a shock appointment considering he was sacked by the club in the previous winter.

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