David Moyes ‘perfect’ next job mooted as West Ham United determine to reduce him loose

Outgoing West Ham United manager David Moyes would be “perfect” for the vacant Republic of Ireland manager’s job, according to former colleague Kevin Kilbane.

Kilbane posted on X [8 May] to returned Moyes for the Irish job, after his departure from West Ham was established this week, as he answered to a submit asking if Moyes would swimsuit the job.

The duo performed together in the 1990s for Preston North End as the opposite ends of their enjoying careers aligned, earlier than Moyes signed the former Irish worldwide for Everton in 2003.

Kilbane’s one hundred ten Ireland caps make him the third-most capped player in the nation’s history, in the back of Shay Given and cutting-edge interim country wide crew chief John O’Shea.

The Irish FA are hunting for their permanent successor to Stephen Kenny, who was once sacked following an uninspiring Euro 2024 qualifying campaign, but may not announce their preference till September.

Could David Moyes succeed with Republic of Ireland?

Now into his 27th season in management, Moyes will be on the listing of any fairly high-profile European membership looking for an experienced boss.

His exploits with Everton which saw him be successful Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, and then his UEFA Conference League triumph with West Ham, give Moyes sufficient in the tank despite his marching orders in favour of Julen Lopetegui at London Stadium.

Would outgoing West Ham United boss David Moyes be interested in international management?

Kilbane’s verdict on paper that Moyes would be successful with the Irish country wide team is tough to disagree with – and it’s in all likelihood for that motive the Irish FA would not be capable to spare the money to match his Hammers salary.

The solely stumbling block career-wise in opposition to Moyes for Ireland is that in these 27 years, he hasn’t as soon as managed internationally – though this could be the right time in his ride to take a specific position away from club football.
