Blues legend Terry Butcher is set for a coaching position at Playford Road.
The club are formulating a role for the former Town and England captain, 61, primarily working in the academy but also having some involvement with the senior players.
"Terry is in doing some some stuff with us at the moment,” general manager of football operations Lee O’Neill confirmed.
"We’re trying to look at something a little bit bespoke for him, for a number of reasons. One, the icon that he is and the information that he has.
"I think he would help the players, the parents, the coaches that we have at the club, the first team as well, there are other areas that he can add assistance to.
"I think he has a great relationship with the manager, and from my point of view and [head of academy player and coaching development] Bryan [Klug]’s point of view he has a lot to offer, so it’s about finding a mutual benefit for both parties.
"He has a lot of commitments that he’s engaged to so it’s trying to find something that suits him. But he’s in coaching with us at the moment and we hope to put something in place.”
Butcher, whose other commitments include his position as legend-in-residence on BBC Radio Suffolk’s Life’s a Pitch, was spotted with Klug at Monday’s U23s game at Colchester.
