David Moyes, 61, remains focused on returning to Premier League management despite being linked to the Scotland national team job. After leaving West Ham last month, Moyes was rumored to be a top candidate to replace Steve Clarke if he fails to advance Scotland past the Euro 2024 group stage.

However, Moyes is intent on waiting for a Premier League opportunity, even if it means a club in crisis. With 697 Premier League matches under his belt, Moyes is the third most experienced manager in the league, following Arsene Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson. Although he praised Clarke’s tenure with the national team, Moyes emphasized his interest in club management.

Moyes enjoyed a successful second spell at West Ham starting in 2019, culminating in winning the UEFA Europa Conference League, ending the club’s 42-year major trophy drought. His successor, Julen Lopetegui, took over the reins at West Ham. Currently, Moyes is covering Euro 2024 for talkSPORT, enjoying his time away from the managerial hot seat.
