DAVID MOYES has been sacked as head coach of Real Sociedad following the defeat to Las Palmas.

    Friday’s 2-0 loss meant La Real sits 16th in the Liga table, just two points off the bottom after 10 rounds of matches.

    Former Manchester United boss Moyes stated after the match that he felt he “must do better,” but insisted he was not feeling the pressure of a potential dismissal despite the mounting speculation.

    However, Sociedad confirmed Monday that the Scot’s time in charge has come to an end just less than a year since his appointment as Jagoba Arrasate’s replacement.

    Eusebio Sacristan, most recently Barcelona B coach, and former Valladolid boss Gaizka Garitano are two of the current favorites for the role.(SD-Agencies)
