Former West Ham manager invites approach from Scotland

|

Former West Ham player and manager Slaven Bilic wants a crack as Scotland’s national team coach!

The 50-year-old has been out of work since leaving Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad in February but has let it known he would be willing to speak to the Scottish FA if they approach him.

The SFA are searching for a new manager to take charge of the national side following McLeish’s sacking earlier this week.

A source close to the 50-year-old told the Daily Mail: “He was in Saudi Arabia after West Ham and it was a great experience.

“In order to work on yourself, you sometimes need to do other things but, of course, he is missing it and is interested in the Scotland job.

“He won’t apply for the job but if the SFA contact him, that is different.”

Bilic spent two-and-a-half years at West Ham before being axed by the Hammers board in November 2017, and eventually took charge of Saudi club Al-Ittihad last year before leaving them in February.
