David Moyes admits it’d be a thrill to place his name on Scotland’s illustrious list of European greats.
The West Ham boss heads for Prague on Wednesday with an opportunity to join a select band of Tartan managerial heroes. If Moyes can win the Europa Conference League Final against Fiorentina, he’ll become just the seventh Scottish boss to hoist aloft a major continental trophy.
The Glaswegian would join an elite cast of names. Jock Stein, Sir Matt Busby, Willie Waddell, Bill Shankly, George Graham and Sir Alex Ferguson have done it – now Moyes can be next. The prospect sends pride swirling through him as he said: “It would be hugely important for myself. My home is in Scotland, that’s where I was brought up. The names that you mentioned are names that were around Europe in a different era when Scotland had a host of top managers competing in the best leagues and for European competitions.
