Edwards along with Gary O'Neil represent the initial names under consideration to succeed the former manager as head coach of Wolves.

Pereira was sacked on the weekend after the team's ten-game without a victory start to the top-flight campaign.

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

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

Nevertheless the ex- Luton head coach - who played over a century of appearances for the club 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 club board as they begin the process of appointing a fresh head coach.

Gary O'Neil is also appearing as a unexpected contender, even though he would be a surprising appointment given he was sacked by the club in the previous winter.

The former West Ham midfielder is currently unemployed which means Wolves would not need to pay any compensation.
