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.Ferdinand on international duty in 1996, shortly before the European Championships2

“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.”
