Burnley chairman Alan Pace is seeking a short-term firefighter to replace sacked manager Sean Dyche.
Dyche, who was Burnley's boss since 2012, departed with the club facing a battle to avoid relegation from the Premier League.
The Athletic reports Burnley are seeking a short-term appointment until the end of the season before selecting a permanent manager in the summer.
However, that could change if the club find Dyche's long-term replacement before the end of the campaign.
Pace is said to have made a shortlist of candidates and the interview process began over the weekend.
The report also claims further interviews have been lined up this week and Burnley want to have an appointment in place for Thursday's game against Southampton, though there are no guarantees.
The club don't have relegation in mind when appointing a new manager as they would've kept Dyche if that was the case.
