Lee Clark is keen to take on another football rebuilding job – like the one he says he carried out at Huddersfield Town.
The 43-year-old has been out of management since leaving Blackpool in the wake of their relegation to League I in May.
He cut his managerial teeth at Town between December 2008, when he replaced Stan Ternent, and February 2012, when he was sacked.
Clark twice took Town to the League I play-offs, losing to Millwall in the 2010 semi-finals and Peterborough United in the 2011 final at Old Trafford.
And the former Newcastle United, Sunderland and Fulham midfielder masterminded a Football League record run of 43 games unbeaten.
He went on to lead Birmingham City to 12th place in the Championship in 2013, but they needed a last-day draw against Bolton Wanderers to avoid relegation the following season.
Clark, who coached at Newcastle and Norwich City before joining Town, said: “I am looking to get into my next position.
“It’s got to be similar to what I had at Huddersfield, which was a project.
“I went to a big club at Birmingham and loved every minute of it.
“They had great support there.
“There were certain scenarios I had to deal with and they have been well documented.
“I probably made a bad career move going to Blackpool.
“Hopefully people in the game can see beyond that and I get an opportunity to show what I did at Huddersfield wasn’t a one-off.
“I can build a club from top to bottom, make a team with good young players and make a successful team and add value to a club.
“That’s what it is all about. It’s a business as well as entertainment.”
Clark has been watching matches at a variety of levels this season.
“I am making sure that when I get my next job I am well aware of players for the future,” he said.
