JFA president Ricky Weir said that talks started over the weekend and it is possible that an appointment will be made in the next three to four weeks.
Weir said: ‘Nothing has been decided as of yet, we wanted to get the under-21s’ match out of the way first and hopefully an announcement can be made in the next three to four weeks.
‘Vice-president Iain Mackenzie and I spoke about it over the weekend and we will shortly hold discussions with a couple of candidates who we have in mind.’
