Former Manchester United manager David Moyes visits Jordan FA to share coaching experience with national team staff

Having managed Everton and Manchester United in the Premier League, David Moyes has plenty of experience to share ‒ and he has done so on a recent visit to Jordan.

Moyes, who also managed Preston in England, is still without a job after being relieved of his duties as Real Sociedad boss in November of last year.

And the 53-year-old Scot has made the most of his spare time this summer by flying out to Jordan where he has shared his coaching experience with the national team's coaching staff.

The former Old Trafford boss, who was linked with a return to Everton before Ronald Koeman took over the reins at Goodison Park, was holding coaching panels.

He also took time out of the session to pose for pictures and revealed he has followed Jordan's progress over the years.

'There is now a bigger understanding of football in this part of the world (Asia), and football in Jordan and Asia is growing,'he told the Jordan FA's website.

'But its more important to have good coaches and good education in Jordan, its also important to work on the mentality of players.

'They need to learn how hard they need to work in order to become professionals. You need good coaches with good leadership, and facilities to support the development as well.

'Look at Iceland and the size of the country and its population and how they did at the Euros, maybe in Jordan you can have a model similar. And therefore you need to have a plan and a vision for 10 to 20 years ahead.

'It's also very important to develop the women's football and female coaches.'

Moyes made a name for himself while managing Premier League outfit Everton, where he stayed for 11 years before leaving to replace Sir Alex Ferguson as United boss in 2013.

But he lasted just 10 months in Manchester before being sacked after a dismal run of form which eventually saw them miss out of Champions League qualification.

His recent spell in Spain with Real Sociedad was also unsuccessful and following his sacking last year, he was linked with both Newcastle, Aston Villa and Celtic.
