Ipswich Town chairman Mark Ashton says the club "need to move swiftly" to appoint a new manager after Kieran McKenna's resignation on Wednesday.
Addressing the Town fans on club media, external, Ashton said: "On the one hand, you have to deal with the emotion and distress of a friend and colleague - a very successful one - leaving the football club. But on the right hand, we have to move forward and we have to move forward at pace.
"And let's be really clear, that will happen at pace. We have a season to prepare for. We need to appoint a new manager and we will need to move into the football player market with players coming in and players going out.
"We need to move swiftly. It will be imminent, but thorough.
"The process will probably be very similar to the process that we ran when we recruited and appointed Kieran. It will be very detailed and thorough.
"We do need to move swiftly, and fans need to be assured we are on top of this and we will make the right decision for this football club as soon as we can."
