Excitement as ex-Everton, Man Utd boss Moyes lands Real Sociedad job

Football expert Guillem Balague believes David Moyes can be a success at Real Sociedad.

The Scotsman was today confirmed as the new manager of the Spanish club and Sky Sports' Spanish correspondent Balague feels it is a very positive appointment by the Basque outfit.

"I'm so excited about this. He's one of the top British managers and he's actually going to go to La Liga, to a team he can improve," he told Sky Sports News HQ.

"The interesting thing is Real Sociedad have not accepted no for an answer. They insisted they wanted him to be the man and received very good reports. It's not a decision that's been taken lightly at all."

Former Everton and Manchester United boss Moyes replaces Jagoba Arrasate at the Anoeta with Sociedad sitting 15th on La Liga's 20-team table.
