Despite having been replaced by Julen Lopetegui after winning the Uefa Conference League in 2022\/23 \u2013 the club\u2019s first major trophy since 1980 \u2013 and still without a club since leaving West Ham United at the end of last season, Chris Sutton believes David Moyes would turn down the Scotland national team job if offered the opportunity.<\/p>\n
Sutton is convinced Moyes is the \u2018standout\u2019 candidate to take over at the Hampden dugout should current manager Steve Clarke depart. However, he believes the former Everton and Manchester United manager would reject the opportunity.<\/p>\n
As for the Hammers, their start to life under Lopetegui hasn\u2019t exactly been pitch perfect, although they secured a morale-boosting 4-1 win over Ipswich Town, just their second Premier League victory of the season before the international break.<\/p>\n
Given the job Moyes did in his second spell at West Ham, there\u2019s no doubt he would remain an attractive prospect for many Premier League clubs. Following up on that, the 61-year-old is reportedly being tracked as a possible replacement for Oliver Glasner at Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n
Switching the perspective to the Scotland national team, the manager\u2019s job is one that may become available sooner than expected, with Steve Clarke under pressure after a run of just one win in their last 15 games across all competitions.<\/p>\n
A 2-0 victory over Gibraltar represents their only success during that run, which has seen them lose 10 times \u2014 including their last four matches.<\/p>\n
