Alan Pardew has claimed that he would be interested in a move back to the Premier League over four years since his last job in England. The 60-year-old is now briefly in charge at CSKA Sofia having been out of management for a couple of years.
He was initially hired by the Bulgarian side as part of the club’s board in an advisory role but he took over first-team matters when manager Stoycho Mladenov unexpectedly resigned last month. It was the first time the former Newcastle United boss found himself in charge of a team since he was ADO Den Haag boss between December 2019 and April 2020.
Despite a couple of lesser jobs on the back of struggles in the Premier League, Pardew is hoping to eventually return to English football. He was asked about whether he wants to come back in an interview with Sky Sports, to which he replied: “Yeah I do. I’m 60 now, fit and well.
