Rob Edwards along with Gary O'Neil are two of the initial candidates in the frame to replace the former manager as head coach of Wolves.
Pereira was sacked on Sunday following the squad's ten-game without a victory start to the top-flight season.
And both candidates - each of whom have historic links to the team - are among the options to be evaluated by the club ownership.
The manager is currently at Middlesbrough, which would create a potential hurdle to his hiring at Molineux.
Nevertheless the ex- Luton manager - who played more than 100 of games for the club during his time as a player - is said to be a strong contender for the position.
The 42-year-old is reportedly enjoys support from the Wolves directors as they start the process of hiring a fresh head coach.
O'Neil is also emerging as a surprise contender, even though he would be a surprising choice considering he was released by Wolves in the previous winter.
The former West Ham midfielder is currently unemployed meaning the club would not need to pay any compensation.
