Eusebio Sacristan succeeds Moyes at Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad were beaten by Las Palmas on Friday
and the club have opted to sack head coach David
Moyes.

Real Sociedad have named Eusebio Sacristan as their new head
coach following the sacking of David Moyes.

The former Manchester United manager was dismissed earlier
on Monday after La Real were beaten 2-0 by Las Palmas on
Friday to leave them just two points off the bottom of La Liga.
Assistant coach Billy McKinlay was also removed from his role.

Former Barcelona and Spain midfielder Eusebio, who was head
coach of the Barca B squad from 2011 until February this year,
has since been announced as Moyes's replacement after
signing a two-year deal at Anoeta.

"He will be presented tomorrow [Tuesday] at noon and will lead
his first training session in the afternoon," a club statement
confirmed.

Eusebio won four La Liga titles and the European Cup as a
player, as well as earning 15 senior caps for the Spain national
team.

He was also assistant to Frank Rijkaard at Camp Nou between
2003 and 2008, during which time Barca won the league twice
and the Champions League, before a single season as head
coach of Celta Vigo.
