Mikel Arteta has said that David Moyes will find that Real Sociedad has a lot of similarities to Everton.

The former Toffees manager has been appointed as the new manager of the La Liga side, seven months after his dismissal from Manchester United.

Arteta, who joined Everton from the Basque club during Moyes's reign at Goodison Park, told Marca.com: "I am aware that Moyes has reflected after what happened to him in Manchester and he will know what he has to change.

"A manager that succeeded 10 years at Everton, but whose 10-month stay at United didn't go to plan, does not forget how to coach.

"I have spoken to him and I have told him that he is going to a marvellous place. He is going to find a club that in many aspects resembles Everton. It's like a family and with a group of players that are currently in a lower position that they deserve to be in."

Sociedad currently sit 15th in the Spanish top flight.
