The 53-year-old manager has been to some extent cut adrift since being sacked by Manchester United in 2014, he had only a short-lived spell at Real Sociedad in the time since then which also ended in a disappointed way.

Having been linked with the Sunderland job – if Sam Allardyce become the next England manager – it now seems Moyes is quite happy spreading his coaching knowledge around the world.
In a series of latest photos shared by the Jordanian FA, the ex-United boss appears to be exalting the advantages of a 4-2-2-2 formation and promoting women’s football in the region.
Moyes has been out of work since he was sacked by Real Sociedad in November last year after a poor start to the La Liga season.

But his difficult three years since leaving Everton for Manchester United have not affected Sunderland chairman Ellist Short’s view that the Scot is the man to help guide the Wearside club away from the relegation struggles which have bedevilled them in recent years.
Short is attracted by Moyes’ record in taking Everton into the Europa League and keeping the Merseyside club in the coattails of the Premier League’s richest sides, despite a relative lack of resources throughout most of his 11 years at Goodison until United came calling.
However, Allardyce has told Sunderland that he has been given no guarantees by England and was back at work on Thursday looking to kick-start a quiet transfer window for the club.
