Moyes joined Sociedad last November and has helped the club climb from 15th in the Spanish Liga to 9th.

The former Manchester United manager has overseen wins against Barcelona, Sevilla and Espanyol during his brief tenure as head coach as the club strive for a top-half finish.

And president Jokin Aperribay says he will back Moyes in the summer transfer market, explaining he has the full support of the board, just as previous coaches have.

“We are very happy with David Moyes," he said. "It was very difficult to fail with him, due to his personality, experience and knowledge.

“He knows what La Real is and its philosophy perfectly.”

“We must end the season well and deal with next season with the same intensity.

“The coaches have always had much involvement in establishing new signings. Not only David, who still has not signed anyone, but everyone.”

Moyes was sacked as United manager in April 2014 after failing to ensure qualification for the 2014/15 Champions League.

He had previously spent over 11 years as boss of Everton, who he joined after a four-year stint at Preston North End.
