Alex McLeish eager for return to management

McLeish eager for management return

Former Aston Villa boss Alex McLeish has revealed that he is eager for a return to management.

The Scot has been out of work since being sacked by Nottingham Forest in February 2013.

While admitting that he would consider options abroad, the 55-year-old is keen to continue his career in England.

"It's a little bit frustrating. It would be nice to get a wee opportunity again. Maybe even a change of scenery if nothing happens for me in England," he told Sky Sports News.

"But I would certainly like to get back into the English game as I feel I still have a bit to offer and there is still a bit of success in me yet."

McLeish enjoyed his most successful spell as a manager while at Rangers, winning three Scottish Premier League titles, two Scottish Cups and three Scottish League Cups between 2001 and 2006.
