Real Sociedad boss Moyes getting BLANKED over British coaching tradition

Real Sociedad coach David Moyes admits he's getting BLANKED by opposition managers.

Moyes is trying to introduce the British tradition of a drink and chat with his opposite number after the game, but has had no luck.

The former Manchester United and Everton manager told BBC Sport: "I've asked a few managers, like we do in the Premier League, to go for a glass of wine or a beer after a game. Back in the Premier League, the managers spend 20 minutes having a chat, and it's not always football.

"But at the moment I'm not getting much joy. There's nobody coming into my little room to join me.

"From what I've seen so far from my time the communication between managers here is very limited. It's a difficult job being a manager and it's sometimes nice to speak to someone who is in a similar situation."
