Jean Todt, the great manager that he is...has unfortunately made a wrong assumption in assuming that Schumacher would make a good FIA commissioner. Michael is no doubt a supreme F1 race car driver. The 7 world championships are a testament to his prowess. However, being a FIA commissioner is again a 'management' type role and I am afraid Michael does not possess those skills.
Jean's desire for Schumi as a commissioner I think is based on his great friendship and rapport with Michael.
In a similar fashion, when retired basketball superstar Michael Jordan tried his hand at managing a NBA basketball franchise, he did not do well...simply because while he was a great player and team leader on the field...he lacked the skills of management (in fact during his years at the Chicago Bulls franchise, there general manager Jerry Krause was a good manager even though he was not very well liked by the Bulls players).
