Former Everton manager Howard Kendall believes that David Moyes is a good fit for Real Sociedad because he can get results on a tight budget.

The Scot has been appointed manager of the La Liga strugglers, seven months after being sacked by Manchester United.

Kendall, who managed Athletic Bilbao in the 1980s, believes that Moyes's successful 11-year stint as Everton boss will stand him in good stead for the job at Sociedad.

"Real Sociedad are not looking to win the league, they are looking to survive and then improve," Kendall told BBC Sport. "That is what David did at Everton.

"He is not going to Real Madrid, Barca or Atletico Madrid, he is going to a club which is a really tremendous club, but is not having the best of times.

"At Everton, David didn't have the vast amounts of money that other clubs have got over here, but he did a tremendous job there over a length of time, and I think at Sociedad it will be very similar. If he can stabilise the club, as he did at Everton, then I think he'll enjoy it."

Moyes has become the fourth British manager to take charge of Sociedad, and the first since Chris Coleman in 2007.
