Rob Edwards and O'Neil represent the initial names in the frame to replace the former manager as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pereira was sacked on Sunday after the squad's 10-match winless start to the Premier League season.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have historic links to the team - are part of the options to be evaluated by the club leadership.

Edwards is currently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a possible hurdle to his appointment at Wolves' stadium.

Nevertheless the former Luton Town manager - who made more than 100 of games for the club during his playing career - is said to be a leading contender for the vacancy.

The mid-career manager is said to have support from the Wolves directors as they begin the process of appointing a fresh head coach.

O'Neil is additionally emerging as a surprise contender, even though he would be a shock appointment given he was released by the club in the previous winter.

The former West Ham player is currently unemployed meaning Wolves would not be required to pay any compensation.
