David Moyes has already made thoughts clear on Scotland job as Steve Clarke exits

Everton boss David Moyes has already had an eye on the Scotland job before.

The 63-year-old returned to the Goodison outfit in January 2025 after departing 12 years prior.

Things have certainly turned around for the Toffees since his introduction after years of consistently fighting relegation.

Under the former Manchester United boss, it was European qualification on the agenda rather than a drop into the Championship.

The Blues obviously missed out on both Conference League and Europa League football, but it was far from a terrible campaign.

But Moyes could now face an uncertain future on Merseyside with the Scotland job now vacant.

Scotland ready manager search after Steve Clarke latest

The Tartan Army are coming off the back of their first World Cup campaign in 28 years.

Despite an opening group-stage win against Haiti, back-to-back defeats threw their tournament dreams into doubt.

Facing Brazil and Morocco was never going to be easy and it ultimately ended with the Scots facing an early trip home.

The brunt of the frustration from fans was aimed towards Steve Clarke for the negative way he set up his side.

That was only made worse by the fact he penned a new deal ahead of the World Cup.

He has now resigned from his role at Hampden Park and has waved goodbye to the job after seven years.

That leaves a role there to be taken, something which certainly could interest Moyes based on his previous comments.

Would David Moyes leave Everton for Scotland?

Although many fans in L3 wouldn't like to think their manager would leave, he could for a job with his nation.

Moyes has been a manager since January 1998, taking charge of six different club sides in that time.

Despite being yet to do so, he has previously voiced his desire to manage on the international stage.

Back in 2021, while in charge of West Ham, the Scot told BBC Sport he would consider a job with the Tartan Army.

He said: "Yeah, I do now [have ambitions to manage Scotland].

"I'm getting now to a stage in my career where I really enjoy club management and feel I have unfinished business to do yet.

"But I think at the right time, when things are right for me and if it's right for Scotland, then it might be a consideration."

That points towards it being a true life goal of his to manage his country, which doesn't necessarily bode well for Everton.

With the opportunity to bring the Tartan Army into a home Euros in 2028, it may be a tough role to turn down.

That could give the Toffees another season with him at the helm before he potentially jumps ship closer to that tournament.
