Kevin Campbell believes it was the 'perfect time' for his former team-mate Duncan Ferguson to leave Everton.
Blues legend Ferguson stepped down as assistant manager on Monday after a decade working with the club, including two separate spells as interim manager. The 50-year-old told EvertonTV that he wanted to pursue his own managerial career and that it was 'an incredibly difficult' decision to come to.
Everton appointed former Chelsea boss Frank Lampard in January after the second of Ferguson's caretaker stints in charge. Lampard helped keep the Blues in the Premier League and, with safety secured, Ferguson has chosen to move on, which Campbell understands.
