Edwards along with Gary O'Neil are two of the early candidates under consideration to succeed the former manager as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pereira was sacked on the weekend following the team's 10-match without a victory beginning to the Premier League campaign.

And both candidates - both of who have historic associations to the club - are part of the options to be considered by the club ownership.

Edwards is currently at another club, which would create a potential hurdle to his hiring at Wolves' stadium.

Nevertheless the former Luton Town manager - who made over a century of games for the club during his time as a player - is said to be a leading contender for the position.

The mid-career manager is said to have backing from the Wolves board as they begin the process of appointing a fresh manager.

Gary O'Neil is additionally appearing as a unexpected candidate, although he would be a surprising choice given he was sacked by Wolves in the previous winter.

The ex- West Ham United player is currently unemployed which means Wolves would not need to provide any compensation.
