So, to answer your question, the 'current' position of Nick Fury during Season 2 of AoS could be stated as 'Officially dead, Effectively retired/discharged.' To the best of our knowledge, he has no more ties to SHIELD than a retired General does to the Army. Thus, the 'official' Director of SHIELD was probably in flux for a while, and simply settled on Coulson eventually. It's unlikely he 'made it official' when he named Coulson as Director (since he's supposed to be dead and thus doesn't get a vote), but with the resources he gave Coulson, it wouldn't be hard for Coulson to assert authority over any rival leadership that had sprung up during the interregnum. We see no further indications of him contacting or working with Coulson, May, Hill, Romanov, or any other SHIELD or ex-SHIELD elements.

So, until Age of Ultron or some other MCU story says different, we have to assume that Nick Fury has cut all ties to SHIELD, is officially dead in the public record, and is 'disavowed' or completely disassociated with Coulson.ĮDIT: There seems to be some confusion about the timing of my answer.

Even in the Season 1 finale, Fury showed up to help in more of a 'favor for a friend' sort of way, not as an official operative. Coulson was made Director at the end of the first season of AoS, and while he knows Fury is alive, Fury isn't (to the best of our knowledge) working with him or even in contact. When Nick Fury 'died,' he cut all ties to SHIELD. He still took orders, received equipment, went out on missions, etc. When Coulson died and was brought back he was 'officially' dead, but still registered as a SHIELD agent for those who were in on the secret, like Fury and Maria Hill.
