This story has come right out of the blue, with very few having surely ever entertained the idea that the Everton manager could end up taking over his country's team.
But the speed of Scotland's exit as one of the few third-placed sides that did not do enough to get through to the second round, followed by Steve Clarke's sudden resignation, means the national job is unexpectedly up for grabs.
Moyes has been generally seen as a success since he returned to the Toffees dugout in 2025 after more than twelve years away from Merseyside.
He stabalised a declining team he had inherited from Sean Dyche, and then this last summer led an overhaul of the squad, adding some excellent new talent such as Jack Grealish, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and others who have so far been less successful, like Tyler Dibling and Thierno Barry.
Everton, though, did not qualify for European football at the end of the season, despite being in a great position to do so late on, and that failure has somewhat tarnished an otherwise strong CV since the return of the 63-year-old Scot.
Despite the distraction of the World Cup, which the Blues boss is attending, attention at the Hill Dickinson has turned to what moves the Toffees will make in the transfer window to strengthen a squad that still has a number of weaknesses.
Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney is, it seems, edging closer to a move, but that deal is not completely done, and any uncertainty over the manager's future might still impact it, although that does appear to be unlikely.
And, of course, that sort of managerial doubt could have repercussions for other potential targets as the summer window goes on.
This reported scenario, though, does not seem very probable, and although he only has a year left on his contract, there is very little real chance, I think, of Moyes leaving Everton this summer.
