Davies willing to listen to Leeds

Mon, 06 Feb 17:43:53 2012

Billy Davies has refused to rule himself out of the running for the Leeds job but insists he will only return to management when the right opportunity comes along.

The Scottish manager, 47, has been out of work since parting company with Nottingham Forest in June last year.

Asked if he would be tempted by a move to Elland Road, Davies said: "I'm prepared to listen to anybody. I've got no preference - Scotland, England or abroad. I'm very happy and very much looking forward to discussing with any interested party. That will be at any level. I don't care what division it is in. I will always give them the courtesy."

He added: "We will wait and see and wait until the right thing comes along and then get back in again."

The former Motherwell, Preston and Derby County boss says he is willing to bide his time for the right job.

Speaking at Monday's William Hill Scottish Cup draw, he added: "I'm very comfortable taking the break at the moment and watching different levels of football.

"I'm getting to England and watching the Premier League and the Championship and I'm getting up here to Scotland to watch Division One and the Scottish Premier League.

"I'm also taking time out watching my two sons play and I've not seen them play for a number of years.

"I'm enjoying the break and I'm waiting for the right moment.

"I've had conversations, it hasn't fitted. I'll wait for the right moment, the right club with the right ambition. When that comes along, I'll go back into the hairy, scary football management again."
