David Moyes admits he has a massive challenge in front of him with Spanish club Real Sociedad.
The former Everton and Manchester United manager has been appointed as the Basque outfit's new boss following their recent sacking of Jagoba Arrasate.
Moyes takes over with Sociedad sitting 15th on Spain's top flight table and is excited about the test of lifting a foreign side up the standings after a successful career with Everton and a not-so-happy spell with United.
"It's always been my ambition to manage abroad," Moyes told Sky Sports News HQ.
"I've always felt to be completely fulfilled as a coach, you need to make sure you've tried all the cultures and look to enhance yourself.
"And I feel at this stage that I'm at, it's the right time. I'm well rested, I've had six months off and I've got to say I'm raring to go.
"I really think that coming here gives me the opportunity to manage in La Liga. I think at the present time you could say it's the best league in the world.
"So I'm really looking forward to the challenge, a big challenge but one that I'm really confident about."
Scotsman Moyes' first test with Sociedad will be against 17th-placed Deportivo la Coruna at the Riazor on November 22.
