Real Sociedad have named former Fulham manager Chris Coleman as new coach.

The 37-year-old Welshman will be unveiled by the Basque side in the next few days after his appointment by club president Maria De La Pena.

"He brings freshness and new ideas and the main aim will clearly be to return to the Primera Liga," said De La Pena.

Sociedad were relegated from La Liga last season for the first time in their history, finishing 19th out of 20.
