Wales coach Chris Coleman is backing David Moyes for the Real Sociedad job.
The former Manchester United and Everton manager is on the shortlist of the post.
Coleman, who spent seven months at the helm from June 2007 to January 2008, said: "They have incredible fans and the city is absolutely crazy about the club.
"It was a great experience for me and when I look back on my managerial career that is probably my biggest regret - leaving Sociedad.
"It is a great club who were in the Champions League last year and if you are at that level, like Moyesy is, I'd say take it as they can be a force, they really can.
"San Sebastian is a great city, and a football city. If I was speaking to David I'd say take the job."
