David Moyes, the infamous former Manchester United boss, finally talked about his dreadful journey in England. He spoke about his experience residing into the shoe of Sir Alex Ferguson for ten months and described how he had to fight for everything out there. Notably, his spell being as the boss of then league defender ended in less than one year when bosses sacked him for not even touching the top four positions of the leaderboard that year. It is indeed the first time he has ever chatted about his nightmare leading one of the most successful English sides and said had he been given more time he would surely prove why he was the most suitable for the job once reigned by Alex for more than two decades. Though, he acknowledged the way he was asked to leave the job was way too weird for a person of his caliber especially for his family who had to pass through lots of social trauma thereafter.
Explaining his decision to accept the most pressing job in England he said in the interview, “It was a step into the unknown and, looking back now, it was near enough the impossible job. It was the right job for me. I’d been at Everton for more than 11 years. We’d qualified for the Champions League, got to an FA Cup final, I’d been voted manager of the season three times. I was among the most experienced managers in the Premier League. United had always had British managers.
“I was devastated to lose the job because it was something I felt I could make a real success of. We knew it was going to take time to make the necessary changes. It was going to take time to evolve, but we were in the process of making other important changes. In the end, I don’t feel I was given time to succeed or fail.”
He seems to be fully charged for his next job now and wants to rule the field again, although not in England. It is still a pity that no other club has until offered him a job after his infamous dismissal from English job, though, he has reportedly been in talks with several non-English sides but could yet not crack a deal. Adding about his joblessness, former Scottish manager said, “This is the first time I’ve missed a preseason since I was 16. I’m 51 now so that’s a long time. I’ve missed it because pre-season is quite an enjoyable time. As a manager it’s a bit more relaxed. I’ve also enjoyed having a bit more spare time than normal.”
