Moyes can leave alegacy — but it won’t be easy

David Moyes’ new club Real Sociedad is often considered one of the most attractive coaching jobs in La Liga, but the former Manchester United and Everton manager faces a difficult challenge in turning around the fortunes of a side which — like himself — has endured a difficult few years.

Moyes was officially confirmed as the San Sebastian-based outfit’s new boss late on Monday night, and will take his first training session this morning before being presented to the media.

The press room at Anoeta is likely to be filled with both local journalists excited about such a high-profile appointment, and also more sceptical British reporters as Moyes returns to the game seven months after his spectacular sacking at Old Trafford.
