Edwards along with Gary O'Neil are two of the initial candidates under consideration to succeed the former manager as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pereira was sacked on Sunday after the squad's ten-game without a victory beginning to the Premier League campaign.

Furthermore both candidates - each of whom have historic links to the team - are among the options to be evaluated by the club leadership.

The manager is presently at another club, which would create a possible obstacle to his appointment at Wolves' stadium.

Nevertheless the ex- Luton Town manager - who played more than 100 of games for Wolves during his playing career - is said to be a leading contender for the position.

The mid-career manager is reportedly enjoys support from the Wolves board as they start the search of appointing a fresh head coach.

O'Neil is also emerging as a surprise contender, although he would be a surprising choice given he was released by Wolves in the previous winter.

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