David Moyes, one of the Premier League’s most experienced managers, has made it clear to West United owner David Sullivan that he is available for a return to management. However, the Scotsman is prepared to wait for the right opportunity, emphasizing the importance of timing and the situation at prospective clubs.
Wolves have reportedly approached Moyes as they consider a replacement for under-pressure manager Gary O’Neil. While O’Neil’s position remains uncertain following mixed results this season, the Wolves hierarchy views Moyes as an ideal candidate to stabilize the team and bring a wealth of top-flight expertise.
Despite Wolves’ interest, Moyes has conveyed a clear message to their decision-makers: he will not entertain discussions about the role while O’Neil is still in charge. This principled stance underscores Moyes’ respect for his peers and his commitment to ethical conduct in football.
Moyes, who most recently guided West Ham United to Europa Conference League glory before leaving the club, has reiterated his willingness to return to the dugout. However, he has stressed to Sullivan and others that he won’t rush into a role for the sake of it. “It has to be the right project,” the former Manchester United boss is carefully considering his next step.
For Moyes, the ideal opening would be one that aligns with his values and ambitions. Having rebuilt his reputation through successful stints at West Ham and elsewhere, he is keen to join a club with a clear vision and the resources to achieve sustainable success.
Moyes appears poised for a return to the sidelines when the timing is right.
