DAVID MOYES has refused to rule out becoming the next Celtic manager.
The former Everton and Manchester United boss has many admirers among the Parkhead hierarchy and, if Ronny Deila does leave after the end of this season, the 52-year-old would be the preferred choice of many of the decisions makers at the club.
In an interview with PLZ Soccer on STV Glasgow, Moyes was asked whether he would consider returning to Celtic Park where he had been a player in the early 1980s.
“Who knows? I would never say never,” admitted Moyes. “I have ambitions to win things and to be at a club that won and would be in the Champions League.”
It is unlike the Glaswegian to be so candid and this admission will intrigue Celtic supporters.
Moyes’ last job was with Real Sociedad in Spain, he was sacked last November, and has been approached by several English clubs, thought to be Newcastle United and last summer West Ham United, but turned them down.
He won a league title medal with Celtic as a young defender before moving to Cambridge United.
