And time is of the essence when it comes to bringing a new man in.
A handful of different names have been linked with the job in one way or another - some big names, some a little more nuanced. There are names from home and abroad, some with Championship experience and some less so. As the picture becomes clearer, it’ll be fascinating to see where the Owls go with it.
We asked you, the Sheffield Wednesday fan base, who you fancied in as the next boss and you replied in your droves.
Here are a few of the names you told us you’d like to see replace Moore.
5. Scott Brown
A legendary player at Celtic, Brown made the brave move to jump into EFL management with Fleetwood Town and achieved good things in his first season. He remains under contract there and it will be interesting to see how he copes with advanced expectations as things go on, but he’s certainly a highly-rated young coach. Photo: Jan Kruger
6. Steven Gerrard
Out of work since he left Aston Villa, the global football superstar would surely be the most glamorous name on the list, bringing with him a raft of high-level contacts. It just feels a bit unlikely at this stage, doesn’t it? Photo: Justin Setterfield/Getty Images
7. Nathan Jones
Out of work after leaving Southampton, Jones would deliver a punchy, high-press style of football Wednesday fans might rather enjoy and is available after leaving Southampton earlier this year. Achieved great things with Luton Town and set them on their way to the top flight - could he do the same at S6? Photo: Dan Mullan
8. Slavisa Jokanovic
A Championship promotion specialist having achieved the feat with Watford and Fulham, Jokanovic would be a pricey option. Has been linked with Wednesday before, but has since managed at Bramall Lane - would that be an issue for Wednesday fans? Photo: Simon Bellis
