Edwards as well as O'Neil Among Wolves Head Coach Candidates

Rob Edwards along with Gary O'Neil are two of the early names in the frame to succeed the former manager as manager of Wolves.

Pereira was sacked on Sunday after the team's 10-match without a victory start to the top-flight campaign.

And both candidates - each of whom have previous links to the club - are part of the options to be considered by the club ownership.

Edwards is presently at Middlesbrough, which would create a potential hurdle to his appointment at Wolves' stadium.

Nevertheless the ex- Luton Town manager - who played more than 100 of appearances for Wolves during his time as a player - is considered a leading candidate for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is said to have backing from the Wolves directors as they start the process of appointing a new head coach.

O'Neil is also appearing as a surprise candidate, although he would be a shock choice considering he was released by the club in the previous winter.

The former West Ham player is currently unemployed which means Wolves would not be required to provide any buyout fee.
