Hearts are planning to bring back former manager Eduard Malofeev as manager if no other suitable candidates can be found to fill the vacancy.
The Jambos bid for Mark McGhee failed this week when the Motherwell manager decided to stay at Fir Park after a traumatic first season in charge.
Malofeev could be set to return to Hearts
And now the Hearts heirarchy are putting in place contingency plans should the club fail to secure a permanent appointment before pre-season.
Malofeev is currently unassigned inside Romanov's pyramid of sport after leaving his post with MTZ Ripo but fans would be understandably cautions over any appointment of the Russian, who failed to win any of the games he took charge of with Hearts.
Caretaker Manager Stephen Frail has already been told he's going when the new team arrive but it remains unclear where he would fit in should Malofeev come back into the reckoning.

MTZ-RIPO into Europe after Cup joy
FC MTZ-RIPO Minsk have collected only their second ever Belarus Cup after a 2-1 victory over FC Shakhtyor Soligorsk.
Cagey half
The capital side went ahead with just five minutes on the clock when Vyacheslav Hleb exchanged a one-two with Aboubakar Camara before burying the ball. Instead of provoking a more open game, though, that early strike goal made for a cagey first half, with MTZ-RIPO concentrating on defence, but the action livened up again following a number of substitutions after the restart. Indeed, Ceolin Nicholas almost doubled MTZ-RIPO's lead on 66 minutes after coming off the bench, but the Brazilian missed an open goal.
Strakhanovich winner
A quarter of an hour later, it was another substitute, Shakhtyor's Valeri Stripeikis, who registered the next blow, equalising merely eight minutes after taking to the field. His joy was to prove short-lived, however, as Oleg Strakhanovich collected a pass from Hleb and restored MTZ-RIPO's advantage almost immediately. The goalscorer then received a second yellow card, but Yuri Puntus's men held on to guarantee themselves a UEFA Cup berth next term with Shakhtyor starting out in the UEFA Intertoto Cup
