League 1 Ayr United have received more than 30 applications for the vacant manager's job at Somerset Park.
Andy Millen is in caretaker charge following the departure of Mark Roberts just over a week ago and the club hope to have a new boss in place for the trip to Brechin on January 10.
A club spokesman said: "The vast majority of applications are from Scotland, however there are five from coaches based in Portugal, Italy and Eastern Europe.
“We hope to have the new manager appointed before the Brechin match and their first home game will be against Morton on January 17.”
