Norwich City have been "inundated with applications" for their managerial vacancy.
The Canaries are in the market for a new boss following Paul Lambert's decision to fill the void at Aston Villa earlier today.
Despite only being without a manager for less than 24 hours, Norwich have revealed that they have already begun the process of finding a replacement for Lambert.
"The search for the next Norwich City manager is already actively under way and the club has been inundated with applications for and interest in the job of leading this great club forward in the Barclays Premier League," read a statement on the club's official website.
"The next Norwich City manager will have a great squad of players, a robust and competitive budget and excellent facilities to work with - as well as the superb backing home and away of our fantastic supporters."
Sports Mole has drawn up a list of the early contenders for the role here.
