Moyes named Sociedad coach

SPANISH club Real Sociedad hired former Manchester United manager David Moyes on Monday, giving the Scotsman a chance to revive his career after his failed stint at Old Trafford.

Sociedad said on its website that it had “reached a deal with manager David Moyes to be the coach of the first team until June 30, 2016.”

It is Moyes’ first coaching assignment since being fired last season after less than a year in charge at United, where he took the top job after Alex Ferguson retired. Moyes had spent more than a decade at Everton.

The San Sebastian-based Sociedad is 15th in the 20-team Spanish league after earning a 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid on Sunday under caretaker coaches.

The Basque club fired Jagoba Arrasate after managing just one win in the first 10 rounds of the league and failing to reach the Europa League group stage in his second year in charge of the team.
