But that leads to the other point --> LA & Houston are not their clients. They own those franchises in the MLS. They are in the process of selling Houston. As pointed out, AEG sold Chicago.

If he mentioned the Sporting director role, perhaps he's already had a talk with the powers in charge. On perhaps he's just sending a hint... <strong>MLSer</strong> that's interesting, so I guess that excludes Chicago Fire as a possible destination for Figo... By the way, nice vids. I liked the 2nd one especially (MLS Tifo) but I was disappointed that they didn't include some more footage of Dwayne De Rosario, my favorite MLS player. God knows he's scored some wicked goals over the years... Martha, that’s why Rui said he’d fancy the role. :)

I assume Benfica will offer him a chance to stay around in some capacity, but I don't <i>think</i> it's at all official.
