Chelsea chief executive Ron Gourlay insists the club will not be rushed into appointing a permanent manager as speculation continues that Roberto Di Matteo will not get the job.
Di Matteo's superb stint in charge of the Blues ended on Saturday with Chelsea winning the Champions League for the first time.
The Italian has also led the Blues to the FA Cup during his time in charge, but according to The Times, Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich remains unconvinced by the 41-year-old's credentials.
Gourlay has been eager to praise Di Matteo's efforts since taking charge of the club back in March following the sacking of Andre Villas-Boas, but has stressed the west London outfit will not be rushed into making their decision.
"As we've said exactly from the day Robbie was given the job as interim coach, let's get through to the end of the season, we set ourselves goals and then when that season ends then we'll sit down and discuss things," he told Sky Sports News.
"Whilst we hoped to get to Munich we didn't know at the time we would get there so we just asked Robbie to give us his best and see where we went.
"So now we have to sit down over the next week or two, or however long it takes, because we've got to do what is right for the football club.
"We will look at the season, look what worked for us, look at the mistakes we made, put them right and then take it forward.
"I know the fans will be pushing for Robbie, but we're not jumping into anything rash.
"He has done fantastically well and I'm very proud of him and what he has achieved. But we will stick with what we said and sit down and talk things through and work things out."
