Ripped unashamedly from the BBC website.
"Former Fulham boss Chris Coleman is in talks with Spanish club Real Sociedad over the vacant manager's position, BBC Sport understands.
Coleman, 37 was sacked by Fulham in April after four years in charge at Craven Cottage.
Miguel Angel Lotina quit as Sociedad's coach following their relegation from the Primera Liga earlier this month.
Lotina had been appointed in October but was unable to stop Sociedad going down for the first time in 40 years.
Coleman joined Fulham as a player in 1997 in a £2m move from Blackburn, but injuries suffered in a car crash in 2001 led to his retirement less then two years later.
He took over as manager in April 2003 following the departure of Jean Tigana."
He'd last months there - regardless to how well he does!

I'd love to see him do well, he was clearly used as a scape goat at Foolham.
I liked the club, but now they've insulted Coleman by employing that complete cock, Sanchez, i'd love to see them fail and Coleman to go on and manage superbly.

Agree, a good bloke with integrity who seems to genuinely care. Never much liked Fulham, it seems liek a club lacking passion, but he did a decent job there and was very harshly sacked. Sociedad is very proud club and I think with their historic links to British football, and the Welsh in particular he could go down a storm over there.

BBC say that Real Sociedad have offered him the job. Toshack must have gave him a glowing reference.
Surely a guarenteed promotion?

Top bloke. Was very understanding when I accidently kicked one of his crutches away at a BP garage in West London after his crash  |

Surely a guarenteed promotion? they offered him a 3yr deal. They are candidates to go straight back to La Liga. |

Yeah but his contract is basically success based - so if it looks bleak half-way through - he'll be gone.
Good luck to him - I'll be interested to see who he may bring in to possibly join Kevin Richardson and Dalian Atkinson as British players who have played for Sociedad!

He's capable of getting them up, but if he doesn't you can expect him to lose the job quickly as that's the way it seems to happen in Spain!!! Good luck to him |
