Former Tottenham Hotspur striker Les Ferdinand rejects opportunity to become Football Association technical director
Les Ferdinand revealed he has rejected an interview for the chance to become the Football Association’s technical director.The former Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United striker played for England on 17 occasions during his distinguished playing career.2

The powerful striker formed an almost unstoppable partnership with Alan Shearer at Newcastle United

However, he is currentlyimpressing as director of football with Queens Park Rangers and duly turned the opportunity down.It is understood Ferdinand was on a four-man shortlist to replace Dan Ashworth, who is leaving the post in 2019 to join Brighton and Hove Albion.Speaking at a QPR fan forum on Thursday night, the 51-year-old said: “I spoke to them but it wasn’t time for me to leave this football club, I am happy to stay.”Ferdinand has overseen an upturn in QPR’s fortunes after financial troubles in the wake of their relegation from the Premier League, and has put together – along with former England boss Steve McClaren – a side challenging for the Championship play-offs.2

“To be honest, they (FA) contacted the club and asked to speak to me…it’s the national team,” Ferdinand added.“I did speak to the FA and I made my views clear to them. I was flattered they wanted to speak to me because sometimes you read reports and they make you feel like you’re not doing a good job.“But they’ve recognised what we’ve done at this football club.”QPR chief executive Lee Hoos added he viewed the approach as a compliment. “The way we view it, we are flattered and honoured that they looked at this club,” he said.“This is the national team, the fact that the FA is looking at people who work here shows we have people doing the right thing.”
