Neil Warnock hints at stunning management return after snubbing ‘tempting’ offers following Huddersfield exit
NEIL WARNOCK has turned down several offers to return to management.
The 75-year-old has been out of work since leaving Huddersfield in September.
Warnock was replaced by Darren Moore eight games into this season, with the former West Brom boss having already been sacked by the Terriers this week.
Veteran boss Warnock has not ruled out returning to the dugout before the end of the season, should the right opportunity arise.
Asked by The Athletic if he’d received any offers since leaving the John Smith’s Stadium, he said: “Oh, aye, there’s been a few of those.
“Two or three came in October-November, almost straight away. Then, there’s been a couple more during the last couple of weeks.”
On what sort of job would tempt him back, Warnock added: “I’ve had everything from Championship through to League Two, there were tempting offers among them.
“But I also fancied having that time with the family for Christmas and also my 75th.
“Then, if something cropped up in February, maybe we’d have a look at that.”
Having been out of work for the last four months, Warnock has been able to spend plenty of time with his family in Cornwall.

On how his wife Sharon has felt about him being around more, Warnock joked: “There have been moments, yes, when she’d gladly have sent me back to work. I’m a bit thick about anything but football.
“At times, I must frustrate the hell out of not just Sharon but the kids as well.
“They all say I’m messy, or no use round the house. I can just about change a plug, but that’s about as far as I go.
“Nothing else. So, yeah, she’s probably ready. But it will have to be something that really interests me, something to really get my teeth into.
“I did think Manchester United might have come in by now — but not a peep!”
