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

And Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have previous associations to the club - are part of the names to be considered by the club leadership.

Edwards is presently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a potential obstacle to his appointment at Molineux.

However the former Luton head coach - who made more than 100 of games for Wolves during his playing career - is considered a leading contender for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is reportedly enjoys backing from the club board as they start the search of hiring a new manager.

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

The ex- West Ham midfielder is currently unemployed meaning Wolves would not need to pay any compensation.
