The Jordan team boss has gone as far as saying that he does not expect Schumacher to see out the deal.
He told BBC Radio Five Live: "I'd be surprised if he sees 2006 in Formula One.
"When drivers are that good it is usually they who decide when to stop, not the team.
"These guys have a great ability to know when to call it a day and retire with an aura of greatness around them. I think he'll be like that."
Jordan gave Schumacher his first drive in Formula One before the German moved on to Benetton and won back-to-back world championships in 1994 and 1995.
He then moved on to Ferrari and won the first of another three titles in 2000.
