Former Fulham star Lee Clark said he would love to return as manager as the club search for a new boss.

Clark, who has been out of work since leaving Blackpool in May, played more than 170 games for Fulham as a player and said he is interested in the job.

"Everyone knows what I think about that place," he told talkSPORT. "If you are saying, 'Would I be interested in being manager of Fulham?' Of course I would throw my hat in the ring. I would be absolutely delighted if that was the case. It is a special club to play for with terrific people behind the scenes.

"It was a brilliant place for me to live with the family," he said.

"Of course I would throw my hat into the ring for that but there is a lot of people with more experience than me who have been linked with that one."

Clark won just three of his 33 games as Blackpool boss but had off-field struggles during his time at Bloomfield Road.

He added that he hopes prospective management look at his previous work with Birmingham and Huddersfield when considering whether to hand him another opportunity.

"The next one has got to be right," he said.

"I made a mistake with my last choice, everyone could see that.

"Hopefully, people will see past that and see the work I did in the previous two under different circumstances at Huddersfield and Birmingham and give me an opportunity."
