David Moyes confirms next career move plans as former Man United manager shares big update

Former Manchester United manager David Moyes says he is in no rush to return to management after leaving West Ham United - although admits he could take another job abroad following his stint at Spanish outfit Real Sociedad.

However, the Scot has admitted that he is beginning to have the itch to make a comeback to the dugout whether it is in the Premier League or abroad.

Moyes' tenure at Old Trafford was short-lived after succeeding legendary United manager Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013. After 51 matches, winning 27 and losing 15, he was relieved of his duties and has since went on to manage Real Sociedad, Sunderland as well as two spells with West Ham United - earning a historic UEFA Conference League win with the Hammers.

"No case of that [wanting to get back into management] at all, but I’m starting to think about it," he said speaking on the Overlap. "For three months I’ve been great, because I wanted the time off.

"It doesn’t sound a lot to say you’ve had 60 games last year, but when you’re the manager and you’re coming back on a Thursday night from Belgium or France, you’re saying, ‘My goodness, I’ve got to get the team prepared – I’ve got to get all the work done’.

"There might be debriefs, then you’re trying to get them ready for a Premier League game. I found that amount of workload to be really difficult in the last three years, but it was a pleasure to be in that situation.

"I’ve been going to a few more games. I didn’t want to go for the first month or so because I just wanted to sit back and see how it was going to go. I watched Salford at Fleetwood, seen Preston [North End] because they are local for me."

Moyes' stint in Spain lasted just under a year, during which he beat Barcelona, however he was sacked after a poor start to the campaign. But his spell overseas hasn't deterred the former Everton manager, he admitted: "I would [go abroad again to manage]. I loved it in Spain – I learnt so much.

"Real Sociedad were in trouble. Would I have stayed longer? Maybe a little bit longer. Sociedad is a great club; they’ve got a history. The way they work is, 16 players from the academy have to be in your squad of 24. [Imagine] if I said that Manchester United had to do that, or Liverpool, or Arsenal.

"[Athletic] Bilbao has to be pure Basque [in their academy], whereas Sociedad allows others in. If [Gary Neville] at Salford said, ‘We can only bring people in from the Manchester area’ it would be incredibly hard to have teams. They have a great philosophy in what they do, but if you’re the manager and you’re coming into a period where there maybe isn’t the best group of young players coming through – I’m not saying that was the case for me, but I found it really difficult learning the language even though I tried."
