David Moyes is ready to return to managing a few months after being fired at Manchester United.

"I am ready to return," said Moyes in his first broadcast interview since leaving United.

"I have enjoyed the time off but I have got to wait on the right job and make sure it's one that I want."

Moyes was sacked after less than 10 months in charge of United, following 11 successful years at Everton.

"I'm really ambitious," he said. "I would never have left Everton for anybody but an ambitious football club. And I thought Manchester United would have given me that opportunity.

"It didn't materialise that way, so I am hoping that the next club I join gives me the chance to build a team, because I think that is what I am good at.

"I also think that I am good at spotting and identifying young players, not only young players, but players.

"Over the years, we have brought in a lot of players at Everton and I think that they worked well. So if the opportunity came, then hopefully I will be able to make it work."

Moyes would prefer to return to English football but is open to working abroad.

"I've had several people contact me about jobs," he added. "None of them have turned round and said 'here is a job it's yours'.

"But people have asked me if I have had any interest in jobs. The clubs that have come calling, I just felt that they weren't right."
