Rob Edwards and O'Neil are two of the early names in the frame to replace the former manager as head coach of Wolves.

Pereira was sacked on Sunday following the team's ten-game winless start to the Premier League season.

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

The manager is currently at another club, which would pose a possible hurdle to his hiring at Wolves' stadium.

Nevertheless the former Luton manager - who made over a century of games for Wolves during his time as a player - is said to be a leading candidate for the position.

The 42-year-old is said to have backing from the Wolves board as they begin the search of appointing a new manager.

O'Neil is additionally appearing as a surprise candidate, even though he would be a shock appointment considering he was released by the club in December last year.

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