Pereira was dismissed on Sunday after the squad's ten-game without a victory beginning to the top-flight season.

Edwards is presently at Middlesbrough, which would create a possible obstacle to his appointment at Wolves' stadium.
Nevertheless the former Luton Town head coach - who played more than 100 of appearances 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 club directors as they start the search of hiring a new head coach.
O'Neil is additionally emerging as a unexpected contender, although he would be a surprising choice given he was released by the club in the previous winter.
The ex- West Ham midfielder is currently unemployed meaning Wolves would not be required to pay any buyout fee.
