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

The manager is presently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a potential obstacle to his appointment at Wolves' stadium.

Nevertheless the ex- Luton Town head coach - who played more than 100 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 directors as they begin the process of appointing a new manager.

Gary O'Neil is additionally emerging as a unexpected contender, although he would be a surprising appointment given he was sacked by the club in December last year.
