Pereira was sacked on Sunday after the team's 10-match winless start to the Premier League season.

The manager is presently at another club, which would pose a possible hurdle to his appointment at Molineux.

However the ex- Luton head coach - who made over a century of appearances for the club during his time as a player - is considered a strong contender for the vacancy.

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

Gary O'Neil is additionally appearing as a unexpected contender, although he would be a shock appointment considering he was sacked by Wolves in the previous winter.

The former West Ham United player is out of work meaning the club would not need to pay any buyout fee.
