David Moyes has reportedly rejected the chance to take charge of Real Sociedad.

The former Manchester United manager was the firm favourite to take over at the Basque outfit, who recently sacked Jagoba Arrasate.

Reports in Spain had claimed that the deal was as good as completed, but according to Marca, Moyes has said 'no' to the Spanish club after extensive discussions.

Former Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella and former West Bromwich Albion boss Pepe Mel are also said to be in contention.

Sociedad moved out of the La Liga relegation zone on Sunday evening with a 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid.
