Real Sociedad confirm David Moyes appointment

Real Sociedad have announced that they have appointed former Manchester United boss David Moyes as manager.

Moyes has been heavily linked with the vacant position at San Sebastian for a number of days, but reports earlier on Monday had suggested that the 51-year-old declined the role.

However, La Real have now confirmed that the Scot has signed on with the Spanish club in a contract that runs until June 2016, and the ex-Everton boss will be unveiled on Tuesday.

He will succeed Jagoba Arrasate after he was dismissed last Saturday as the Spanish outfit - who played in the Champions League last season - sit 15th in La Liga.

Moyes, who spent 11 years with the Toffees, has been out of work since April after being sacked by United following an ill-fated nine-month stint at Old Trafford.
