Edwards along with Gary O'Neil represent the initial candidates under consideration to replace 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 top-flight campaign.

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

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

However the former Luton manager - who made over a century of games for the club during his playing career - is considered a strong candidate for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is reportedly enjoys support from the Wolves board as they start the process of appointing a fresh manager.

O'Neil is additionally emerging as a unexpected contender, even though he would be a surprising appointment given he was sacked by Wolves in December last year.

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