Serevi was a guest at the Samoa Independence International Sevens tournament in Apia earlier this month, where he expressed an interest in helping Samoa.
Tuila'epa says former Manu Samoa veterans Muliagatele Brian Lima, and Uale Ma'i have also applied, along with former Manu sevens assistant coach and manager, Tauasa Faamaoni Lalomilo.
The SRU chairman says, because of the high calibre of applicants, it has been decided not to speed up the selection process but to consider all the applications before an independent panel will be making an appointment.
Fata'ali'i Milovale Moke will take charge of the team on an interim basis for next month's Pacific Games.
