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

Pereira was sacked on the weekend after the squad's 10-match winless start to the top-flight season.

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

The manager is presently at another club, which would pose a potential hurdle to his hiring at Wolves' stadium.

However the ex- Luton manager - who made over a century of games for Wolves during his playing career - is said to be a leading candidate for the position.

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

O'Neil is also appearing as a surprise contender, even though he would be a surprising choice given he was released by the club in the previous winter.

The ex- West Ham United midfielder is currently unemployed which means Wolves would not need to pay any buyout fee.
