Match Fit USA has learned that Mexican legend Jorge Campos may be under consideration for FC Dallas' newly created Technical Director position. Campos has had contact with the club in regards to the position after general manager Michael Hitchcock was let go this week.

Campos retired in 2004 after a distinguished playing career, including stints with the LA Galaxy and Chicago Fire, and was on Ricardo Lavolpe's staff during Mexico's 2006 World Cup effort. He currently does periodic television work for TV Azteca. He was spotted at the Cotton Bowl for Mexico's match with Columbia, a game that was the second half of a doubleheader; FC Dallas took on New England in the first game.

FC Dallas has seen their attendance fall in recent years despite the opening of a brand new stadium, and Hitchcock's time with the club was marred by those issues. After four years in the general manager position, Hitchcock was dismissed and the club's management structure changed; FC Dallas announced that it would not hire a replacement for Hitchcock, but would instead hire a technical director to assist head coach Schellas Hyndman with front office responsibilities. Hunt Sports Group president John Wagner remains in charge of the club's business operations.

The revival of FC Dallas' fortunes in the second half of the MLS season, a revival that saw them narrowly miss the playoffs, is being credited to Hyndman; that credit appears to have convinced owner Clark Hunt that the former SMU head man should be given more authority over the club's personnel decisions. What role Campos would play in the process as "Technical Director" is unclear.

FC Dallas has declines to comment on the candidacy of Campos to MFUSA, citing company policy.
