David Moyes tipped for Premier League return with ‘four teams’ interested in former West Ham and Man Utd boss
DAVID MOYES has been linked with a Premier League return with four teams potentially interested.
Moyes, 61, has been a free agent ever since his departure from West Ham at the end of last season and his subsequent replacement by Julen Lopetegui.
According to talkSPORT, however, the Scottish tactician is keen to return to a Premier League dugout this term.
And the ex-Manchester United boss has been linked with four Prem strugglers – Wolves, Southampton, Leicester and Crystal Palace.
The same source claims the aforementioned clubs could be possible destinations for the ex-Everton boss.
Southampton and Leicester returned to the English top flight from the Championship but both have been struggling.
Saints are bottom of the table with four points out of 11 matches, of which they won one and lost nine.
Manager Russell Martin still has credit in the bank as he led his team back to the Premier League, but will need to turn things around.
When it comes to Leicester, the jury’s still out regarding new manager Steve Cooper who replaced Enzo Maresca at the helm after the Italian tactician led the team back to the top flight.
Cooper has only managed 10 points in the first 11 matches, with two wins and five losses along the way.
The Foxes are Moyes’ only suitors that are outside the Premier League relegation zone as they sit 15th in the table with three points separating them from the drop.
Wolves are second to last in the table with six points out of their first 11 matches as they lost seven times and only won once.
Manager Gary O’Neil has come under fire as he currently has the leakiest defence in the Prem that has conceded 27 times.
Palace boss Oliver Glasner might be the safest after his heroics late last season, immediately after replacing Roy Hodgson at the hotseat in February.
However, Glasner will have to replicate last term’s brilliance after a disappointing start that saw him picking up a mere seven points in the first 11 matches.
The Austrian tactician has endured eight losses and only won once, which has seen the Eagles drop to the relegation zone.
