David Moyes comfirmed as coach of Real Sociedad
David Moyes named as the new manager of Spanish Primera Division side Real Sociedad
David Moyes' exile from management, following his sacking by Manchester United in April, came to end on Monday when it was announced he had taken charge of Spanish side Real Sociedad.
Moyes, who had previously managed Preston North End and Everton, has agreed an 18-month contract to take over from Jagoba Arrasate.
The 'White and Blues' currently sit 15th in the Spanish Primera Division with only two wins this season, but those victories were against Real Madrid at the end of August and defending champions Atletico Madrid on Sunday (9th November).
The 51-year-old Moyes was chosen to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford, but lasted just ten months as United finished the season in seventh place and failed to reach the UEFA Champions League for the first time in 19 years.
Moyes' first game in charge of Sociedad will be away to Deportivo La Coruna in La Liga on the 23rd of November.
On 9 May 2013, Manchester United announced that Moyes would take over the club following Alex Ferguson's retirement as manager.
He signed a six-year contract with the club, and officially took up his managerial position at United on 1 July 2013. His first unofficial game as United manager ended in defeat as Teeratep Winothai scored the only goal for Singha All Stars in Bangkok on 13 July 2013.
On 11 August 2013, he won his only trophy with Manchester United his first official game, a 2–0 win over Wigan Athletic in the FA Community Shield. Less than a week later, he won his first league game in charge of the club, opening the season with a 4–1 victory against Swansea City, but after that, United suffered their worst ever start to a Premier League season, leading the start of his reign to be described as "calamitous" following a 4–1 defeat to Manchester City and a 2–1 home defeat to West Bromwich Albion, with several journalists stating the pressure was now on despite it being early in his reign
