Rob Edwards along with O'Neil represent the early names under consideration to succeed the former manager as manager of Wolves.

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

And Edwards and O'Neil - both of who have previous associations to the team - are part of the options to be evaluated by the club ownership.

The manager is currently at another club, which would pose a potential obstacle to his appointment at Molineux.

Nevertheless the former Luton Town head coach - who made more than 100 of appearances for the club during his time as a player - is considered a leading candidate for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is reportedly enjoys support from the Wolves directors as they begin the search of hiring a fresh head coach.

O'Neil is additionally emerging as a unexpected candidate, although he would be a surprising appointment given he was sacked by the club in December last year.

The former West Ham midfielder is out of work which means Wolves would not need to provide any buyout fee.
