New Real Sociedad manager David Moyes has likened his managerial style to Jose Mourinho and vows to replicate similar success to during his time with Everton.

The Scotsman ended a seven-month break away from football to sign an 18-month deal with La Liga's Sociedad earlier this week.

Moyes succeeds former boss Jagoba Arrasate, beating competition from former West Bromwich Albion manager Pepe Mel to the Sociedad hotseat.

When asked about his managerial style by reporters, Moyes responded: "Probably more Mourinho, I'm tough with players and like to work hard.

"But I'm looking forward to it. I want to take the challenge of getting the team back to the top end of the league.

"I took over a club very similar to this, in Everton, 12 or 13 years ago and we grew. I'm hoping to do the same here and see know reason why I cannot."

Moyes was in charge of Manchester United for only 10 months before his sacking at Old Trafford last season.
