Rafa Benitez is expected to hold talks with Duncan Ferguson when he takes over at Everton.
The Spaniard is closing in on being appointed as Carlo Ancelotti's replacement after the Italian quit Goodison on June 1.
Benitez will continue talks with the club's hierarchy over the weekend as they look to finalise the 61-year-old as the fifth new manager of the Farhad Moshiri era.
And the former Liverpool boss is expected to sit down with Ferguson when his appointment is confirmed to discuss the possibility of the club hero staying on as part of a new-look backroom staff.
Ferguson was one of Ancelotti's two assistant managers and has been part of the first-team set-up at Everton since 2014.
