Chris Sutton has suggested that David Moyes should turn down the opportunity to become the Scotland manager following his exit from West Ham at the end of last season.

After his second spell in East London, David Moyes left West Ham at the end of last season following the expiration of his contract. The 61 year old was replaced by Julen Lopetegui ahead of the start of the current Premier League season.

Since leaving West Ham, Moyes remains out of work and is yet to be appointed by a new club. Former player and current pundit Chris Sutton has said he is not convinced Moyes would be up for taking over his national side if current manager Steve Clarke was to be sacked following Scotland’s poor run of form.

Speaking on It’s All Kicking Off, Sutton said: “One win in 15 isn’t a good look, but the performances are there. That’s probably not comforting to Scottish fans at this moment in time. The name which stands out if Steve Clarke does go would be David Moyes. Would he be keen to take that job ? I’m not sure he would.”

If Moyes were to become Scotland manager, it certainly would have the potential to be a good fit. His more defensive style of play would work well in international football. The question for the Scot would be whether or not he would be comfortable in moving to international management or feels as though it would be the right next step in his career.

Having managed over 1100 games, with just shy of 700 of those being in the Premier League, Moyes will probably feel he is perfectly capable of taking on another job in club football and succeeding.

David Moyes has spent more than 25 years in management. With some managers continuing working in the top flight well into their 70s, at 61 years old, he still may have a number of years left in management.

It would definitely be nice to see him remain in the top flight and get another Premier League job so that he could return to the London Stadium and get the warm reception he deserves for his success with the Hammers.
