Motherwell have received over 75 applications to succeed Ian Baraclough as manager.
Baraclough managed to secure just two wins this season and was relieved of his duties after less than a year in charge, following the League Cup defeat at Morton.
The Scottish Premiership club revealed they hope to have a new man in place before Celtic's visit to Fir Park on October 17.
A club spokesman said: "The board met on Monday evening for an initial review of the list of applicants for the role of first-team manager.
"We have received in excess of 75 applications and are delighted with the high quality of candidates.
"We are keen to undertake a detailed interview process to ensure we appoint a manager who shares the vision for the club and has the skills necessary to achieve the various goals required.
"Due to the number of applicants, it will take some time to complete the selection process and no interviews will take place this week.
"The board have therefore asked Stephen Craigan to continue in his position for the Dundee game this Saturday, which he has agreed to do.
"The club hope to make an appointment prior to the next game after the international break."
