Five destinations for David Moyes who is ready to return

With the news that former Manchester United manager David Moyes is ready to return to football, Coral have identified five possible destinations he could end up at.

Although he admitted he’s enjoying time out, he also feels that there is success ahead of him from a professional perspective.

“I’m ready to go,” said Moyes. “I’ve no time-scale. I’m enjoying the break but I’m a football man and I want to work. I feel my best years are ahead of me and I do feel I am still a young manager. I’ve lots to learn and lots I want to put into practice.

“I think I am better-equipped to take over a job like Manchester United now than even when I did take over because I’ve had a chance to see what happens, what goes on,” continued the Scot.

“I felt I was ready when I left Everton, but obviously when you get in you see things and you realise that experience and knowledge you can only get from being in the job. But unfortunately I only got nine months.”

Bearing that in mind, we rate the likelihood of his next possible job.

Newcastle United: Chances 5/5
The Magpies fans are steadily running out of patience with current boss Alan Pardew, and are also wondering what owner Mike Ashley’s stance on the club is, with him being linked to buying Rangers.

Moyes, however, would suit Newcastle, who have odds of 6/1 with Coral for a top 10 finish. When he took over Everton, they were a club flirting with relegation, and he turned them into a consistent top seven side.

Rangers: Chances 4/5
Perhaps outside of the box, though many Scottish managers would have to seriously consider an offer from one of the biggest clubs in the country. If Ashley does end up owning the club, a move for a manager who supported the team as a boy, despite playing for rivals Celtic could turn out to be a masterstroke.

Leicester City: Chances 2/5
Although manager Nigel Pearson has done nothing wrong, the club’s Asian owners may recognise Moyes as the manager that can take the Foxes, who are 5/2 for a top 10 finish, to the next level. Many were shocked when Southampton fired Nigel Adkins from nowhere and replaced him with Mauricio Pochettino a few years back; however, the decision worked wonders.
