Edwards along with Gary O'Neil are two of the initial candidates in the frame to replace the former manager as head coach of Wolves.

Pereira was sacked on the weekend after the team's 10-match winless start to the Premier League campaign.

And Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have previous links to the team - are part of the options to be evaluated by the club ownership.

The manager is presently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a possible obstacle to his appointment at Molineux.

However the former Luton manager - who made over a century of games for the club during his playing career - is said to be a strong contender for the position.

The mid-career manager is reportedly enjoys support from the club directors as they begin the process of hiring a fresh head coach.

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

The former West Ham midfielder is currently unemployed which means the club would not be required to provide any compensation.
