Real Sociedad fires Moyes

David Moyes has been sacked as manager of La Liga strugglers Real Sociedad a day short of his one-year anniversary at the Spanish club.
The 52-year-old steered the Basque team to 12th spot last season after taking charge on November 10, 2014.
But La Real are only outside the relegation zone on goal difference and Friday’s 2-0 defeat at Las Palmas was their fourth in five league games.

The club are 16th and face Europa League winners Sevilla and European champions Barcelona in their next two La Liga games after the international break.
