Paul Farbrace has been offered a part-time director of cricket role at Sussex as eight players are told they will be released.
The head coach announced just before this season he will step down at the end of the 2026 campaign as the county face big budgets cuts due to financial mismanagement.
Sussex hope to have a new head coach confirmed by mid-July.
Farbrace is involved in the selection process.
And he has confirmed he could have some part to play beyond the end of this season.
Farbrace told the BBC Sussex and Sussex CCC live stream that he had an offer in writing for a new role.
It would involve him working two days per week in the off-season.
That would increase to three days per week when the 2027 campaign gets under way
The development is in line with what he told The Argus ahead of the season, when he said he felt a responsibility to help Sussex through tough times.
Farbrace said: “There have been discussions about me staying and I have now got something in writing from the club about that.
“There are a lot of unknowns. That is the tricky bit with the players as well.
“We have had to cut a huge amount of money out of the cricket budget at the end of this year, hence the reason eight players have been told there is no contract for them.”
Farbrace revealed some players had been offered new deals with time for them to consider their options.
On the pitch Sussex grabbed a bizarre bonus right on lunch as they looked to bowl out Glamorgan on day three.
Asa Tribe was bowled by Jack Carson right on lunch, having made 44, to leave his side 120-2 at lunch.
He was left on strike when skipper Kiran Carlson ran an opportunist overthrow.
Tom Alsop, fielding close in, threw the ball back to bowler Carson, who missed it as he walked back to his mark, and the Glamorgan batters scampered through.
The run was allowed to stand, even though Sussex felt the ball was dead, so the fielders enjoyed the subsequent wicket with extra relish.
Glamorgan, 366 adrift on first innings, had reached 112 for no loss when Zain-ul-Hassan was well caught by Alsop off the newly-introduced James Coles at short leg for a very patient 30.
Carlson and Ben Kellaway (55) added 87 for the third wicket before the latter was lbw pushing half-forward to Tom Haines.
Colin Ingram completed a pair when he was caught by at first slip by Alsop off Haines straight after tea and Carlson was then run out for 32 as Glamorgan lost four wickets for 12, three of them to Haines.
They were 240-6, still 126 adrift, going into the later stages of day three.
