Chelsea owner Todd Boehly is willing to take his time appointing a new manager.
Graham Potter was sacked by Boehly on Sunday night after seven months in charge.
Former Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann is the early favourite for the Stamford Bridge hotseat, given his free agency status.
But The Sun says Boehly is prepared to take his time over his next appointment.
Potter's former No2 Bruno Saltor will take charge of the West Londoners until a permanent successor is found.
However, the Spaniard could stay in charge as caretaker coach for the rest of the campaign.
