David Moyes Fired by Real Sociedad: Latest Details, Comments and Reaction

David Moyes lasted all of one year with Real Sociedad, as the former Everton and Manchester United manager was fired by the Spanish club on Monday, via Ed Malyon of the Mirror.  

Moyes, 52, took over for Jagoba Arrasate at Sociedad last November, helping lead the club to a 12th-place finish in the league. Sociedad have gotten off to a rough start this season, however, with just nine points after 11 games. The club are currently out of the relegation zone only due to goal difference.

Worse, the club have shown little sign of improvement in recent action, having lost four of their last five league games. Friday's 2-0 loss to Las Palmas was the final straw, as Sociedad have now won just four of their last 21 games dating back to last season, and Las Palmas came into the matchup buried in the relegation zone.

After spending 11 years with Everton, Moyes has found less stability at his next two jobs. His tenure with Manchester United was disastrous, as he took over from club legend Sir Alex Ferguson and was sacked before his maiden season ended after failing to qualify for the Champions League. 

Things have not been much better at Real Sociedad, where he's struggled to maintain any consistency and has reportedly developed rifts with some of the veteran players he inherited at the club who questioned his training methods, per Malyon.

Eusebio Sacristan, the former Celta and Barcelona B manager, will have a tall task of turning around Sociedad's season as the interim manager, per Pete Jenson of the Daily Mail. After a season of mostly disappointment and underachievement, however, it was clear a change was needed.
