Forfar Athletic are expecting to commence interviews for the managerial vacancy at Station Park within the next week.
Long-serving Dick Campbell, who had been in charge since May 2008, parted company with the Ladbrokes League 1 club in the wake of Saturday's 1-0 home defeat to Cowdenbeath.
Interim first-team coach Stewart Petrie and U20 manager Barry Sellars will take charge for this weekend's game against Albion Rovers at Cliftonhill as Forfar seek to end a run of 11 league matches without a win.
A club spokesman: "The board have been impressed by the quality and standing within the game of those who have expressed an interest in the post."
