David Moyes in demand after West Ham exit as he reveals club and country offers

Yesterday at 05:46 AM

David Moyes has revealed he’s received enquiries from clubs and countries but is in no rush to return to management.

The Scotsman was last in the dugout at West Ham and left the club in the summer following a four-and-a-half-year second stint.

Moyes helped deliver the Hammers’ first major trophy in 43 years by winning the UEFA Conference League in the 2022/23 campaign.

Despite this, he faced an unsavoury end to his tenure as some fans unveiled a ‘Moyes Out’ banner towards the end of last season.

However, whilst Moyes isn’t currently featuring on a touchline, there has certainly been interest in his services.

Speaking exclusively to talkSPORT, he was asked if it’s felt strange to not be in the dugout this season, but he said: “No, not strange at all.

“I’ve been, a few times, not in that situation. But I’m enjoying my time off, I’ve watched a few games but I’m also taking some time off to spend time with the family, play a bit of golf.

“We’ll see how things go in the future but at the moment, I’m really cool, just taking a bit of time off.”

Moyes was then asked if he will make a managerial return and replied: “I don’t know yet, I don’t know.

“I’ve not made that decision yet and I don’t want to make that decision. I just want to see how it goes.

“I’ve had some really nice enquiries from clubs and countries as well at different times, but I’m just taking my time and we’ll see how it goes.”

Moyes’ coaching career began at Preston North End, the final club he featured for during his 18-year spell as a player.

He spent just over four years as their manager before leaving in 2002 for Everton where he established himself as a top coach.

The 61-year-old won 221 of his 518 matches in charge of the Toffees across all competitions, with a fourth place finish in the 2004/05 season his best final standing in the Premier League.

Goodison Park gave him a standing ovation in his final game at their iconic ground in 2013 ahead of his move to Manchester United.

Unfortunately for Moyes, he lasted just under ten months at Old Trafford as reigning champions United went on to finish seventh.

Appointments at Real Sociedad and Sunderland would follow before he first joined West Ham in 2017 as their replacement for Slaven Bilic.

He saw out the entirety of his six-month deal and sealed their Premier League safety, returning a year later for a successful second spell.
