Former England manager Steve McClaren has left his consultancy role with Maccabi Tel Aviv and is reportedly keen on taking up a new managerial role in the UK.
The 56-year-old joined the Israeli side in August as an advisor to manager Jordi Cruyff, son of the late Johan Cruyff.
McClaren's stint with the club has been cut short after less than five months, however, and according to Sky Sports News, he is now looking to take over a club in the UK.
"It's with much regret I have to return to England and leave my role at Maccabi Tel Aviv," McClaren said in a statement. "I would like to thank so many people for making my time at Maccabi such a wonderful experience.
"The loyal, hard-working staff who work tirelessly behind the scenes. A great set of talented players who I loved working with and passionate fans who showed their support both at home in Netanya and across the country.
"It's been a pleasure to see Jordi and the team mature over the last few months, culminating with a Toto Cup final victory over Be'er Sheva and the first trophy in three years.
"I wish Jordi, the staff, players and fans every success for the rest of the season and will surely come back to visit when Maccabi Tel Aviv win the Championship."
Swansea City and Sheffield Wednesday are among the clubs currently in search of a new manager.
