Moyes backs Scots' Strachan decision

David Moyes thinks the Scottish FA did the right thing by retaining Gordon Strachan as national head coach.

Strachan received the backing of the SFA board last week despite his side sitting fifth place in their World Cup qualifying group.

Speculation had linked Sunderland manager Moyes with the job.

"I don't think there's anybody out there who could do a better job than Gordon Strachan," said Moyes, whose side beat Hull City 3-0 on Saturday.

The Scot had been under pressure in the first year of his own four-year contract with the English Premier League club.
