Real Sociedad boss Jagoba Arrasate has acknowledged that his spell as head coach of the Basque outfit could be coming to a close.

Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Malaga has left Sociedad in 17th position in La Liga on six points, while they have won just one of their 10 league games this term.

"The players are down and hurt, like everyone else, because we have missed another opportunity," he told AS.

"The president visited and encouraged us, as always. This isn't the time to talk, think or make decisions. When you don't get results you make changes, that's normal and many changes to the team are not a good sign. When you keep losing you know the end might come but this isn't the time to think about it."

It is understood that Arrasate could depart on Monday.
