Management career
Moore was appointed manager of Stirling Albion in 2002, succeeding
Ray Stewart. At this time, the club was languishing at second bottom of the
Third Division. Moore's impact was recognised instantly, and in the
2003–04 season he successfully guided Stirling to promotion to the
Second Division. Steady progress in the next few years culminated in yet another promotion, via the playoffs, to the
First Division at the end of the
2006–07 season. However, this proved too much for Stirling, as the club were relegated back into the Second Division after just one season.
In October 2009, Moore expressed a strong interest in taking the vacant managers position at former club

, citing the move as an opportunity to work at a full-time club. Moore then confirmed that he had been given permission to speak to Morton. However, after Morton approached Albion over the release of Moore, the compensation package of £160k – £180k was too much for Morton chairman
Douglas Rae, and the deal was called off.

Business interests
According to an interview with team-mate
Paul Cherry in the "J-Files" fanzine, issue 1 of November 1998, Moore operated a burger van during a housebuilding boom seen in Perth from the late 1980s as his St Johnstone career peaked. The enterprise declined in interest once builders moved on to other sites.
