That's why he's starting in an advisory role with (what I assume is) very little responsibility, and not the coach or AGM.
Iggy goes along for the ride, gets his feet wet, and Conny will show him the ropes and maybe bounce some ideas off him.
It's newsworthy because it's Iggy, but if it were a former player with less cache, this would barely be discussed.
