David Moyes has returned to football with Spanish strugglers Real Sociedad following his disastrous 10-month spell as Manchester United manager, the Basque club announced late on Monday.

"Real Sociedad have reached an agreement with David Moyes to be the coach of the first team until June 30, 2016," Sociedad said in a statement published on their website.

Moyes, 51, was sacked in April after less than a season in charge of United as they failed to qualify for the Champions League for the first time since 1995.

The Scot enjoyed a broadly successful 11-year spell at Everton prior to taking the job at Old Trafford, although he has yet to win a major trophy as a coach.
Sociedad have been looking for a new coach since Jagoba Arrasate was sacked last weekend after just one win in their opening 10 league games.

Australia midfielder Tim Cahill, one of Moyes's most successful signings at Everton, welcomed the news, writing on Twitter: "Great to see David Moyes back in the game @RealSociedad. Was only a matter of time."‎
