Real Sociedad announced this afternoon that they have parted ways with their manager, David Moyes, and assistant Billy McKinlay.
The club released an official statement on their website:
Real Sociedad has taken the decision to rescind the contract of first team coach David Moyes. His assistant, Billy McKinlay, has also been relieved from his position at the club. Real Sociedad would like to thank David Moyes and Billy McKinlay for the professional conduct, commitment and dedication which they showed during their roles in the running of the first team; at the same time, we would like to wish them all the best in their future ventures, both professional and personal.
Of course, there were quite a number of people on Twitter who had something to say about that.
