David Moyes confirms next career move plans as former West Ham boss makes new announcement

Former West Ham boss has offered a hint that he may be looking to return to the managerial dugout.

Moyes left the in the summer after almost five years as the club's manager, during which time he won the Europa Conference League in the inaugural season of the competition.

The 61-year-old guided West Ham to a ninth-place finish in the last season and reached the quarter-final of the Europa League before leaving the club upon the expiration of his contract.

West Ham replaced Moyes with Julen Lopetegui, who has endured a difficult start to life at the London Stadium with the Hammers 14th in the table and have lost five of their first 10 games.

It has been several months since Moyes left West Ham, but he has now offered a hint of what could be next in his managerial career.

"No case of that [wanting to get back into management] at all, but I’m starting to think about it," said Moyes on the Stick to Football podcast provided by .

"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."

Moyes has previously worked as the manager of Everton, Manchester United and Sunderland in the Premier League, as well as West Ham, and also ventured out to Spain for a spell in charge of Real Sociedad. The former Hammers boss admitted that a move abroad is not out of the question if an opportunity presents itself.

"I would [go abroad again to manage]," said Moyes. "I loved it in Spain – I learnt so much.

"Real Sociedad were in trouble. Would I have stayed longer? Maybe a little bit longer."
