Fair point, and that's one of the reasons I wouldn't have him as "Director of Football," as that's still a very involved role.

Ferguson will only leave the manager post when he's ready, so that may mean he'd be looking to leave altogether anyway.

But in an upstairs position, it gives an additional bit of progression, should Quieroz get it. SAF manager and CQ asst, to SAF Director of some sort, CQ manager and whoever he wants as asst would ease the transition better for him I think, as Ferguson would still be there for his assistance when nessasary for a while.
