Scotland are searching for a new boss following Gordon Strachan's departure.

Moyes has not managed since leaving Sunderland following their relegation from the Premier League in May.

"I don't think anyone ever turns down their national team opportunity, but I think it has to be at the right time," the Scot, 54, told BBC Radio 5 live.

Malky Mackay, the Scottish Football Association's performance director, will take interim charge of the team for the friendly against the Netherlands at Pittodrie on 9 November.
