David Moyes has shared his intention to take on another managerial role, but he made it clear that he would only return to the sidelines if the right opportunity presents itself.

The 61-year-old, who stepped down from his position at West Ham at the end of last season, emphasized that he’s not ready to rush back into the game.

Reflecting on His Time Off

Currently enjoying a break from management, Moyes admitted that while he’s relishing some time off, he’s far from finished with his career.

“I don’t consider myself done yet,” he told the BBC. ]

However, he stressed that he wouldn’t return to a club struggling at the bottom of the league or battling relegation.

He’s had his share of tough seasons in those situations and isn’t keen to put himself through that again.

“I wouldn’t want to be coming in and doing something which is very difficult,” he explained.

The former West Ham manager noted that he needs to ensure any new role is the right fit for him, focusing on finding a “good part” in his next challenge.

A Career Full of Experience

Moyes’ managerial journey dates back to 1998, and if he takes on another job, it will mark his eighth post in a long career.

His tenure includes time at Preston, Everton, Manchester United, Real Sociedad, Sunderland, and two separate stints at West Ham.

Over 1,100 matches have shaped his career, and he’s managed to maintain a high profile despite facing some challenges.

His success with West Ham, especially leading the club to the Conference League title in 2023, was a notable high point.

This victory helped him rebound from his less successful stints, particularly his time at Manchester United following Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement.

Honored for His Service to Football

Moyes’ contributions to the sport have not gone unnoticed.

He was recently named in the New Year’s Honours list for his services to football.

This recognition highlights his lasting impact on the game, especially considering his impressive record in the Premier League, where he’s managed 697 matches—only Arsène Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson have more.

What’s Next for Moyes?

As for what’s next, Moyes seems content to take his time before committing to another job.

He’s earned his break, but when the right opportunity comes along, it seems likely he’ll be ready to return—on his terms.
