| David Moyes was sacked as manager of Real Sociedad last week |
FORMER Manchester United manager David Moyes has claimed he turned down a number of job opportunities before being sacked by Real Sociedad.
Moyes was axed by the Spanish side last week after just a year in charge following a poor start to the La Liga season.
The Scot believes he was harshly treated by the club as he feels he demonstrated loyalty to the club by rejecting interest from elsewhere.
And the former Everton boss, who has been linked with Leeds United, said: "I am disappointed to have left Real Sociedad.
"When I accepted the job as manager of La Real last November, my remit was to avoid relegation and retain the club's La Liga status. We succeeded in attaining that target.
"I made a firm promise to Real Sociedad to honour my contract and it is disappointing not to be able to fulfil this commitment especially when I have turned down a number of job opportunities in recent months.
"I would like to thank the club and the President for giving me the opportunity to manage in Spain, at a club with such a rich history of employing British Managers.
"I would also like to thank the players, staff and my assistant, Billy McKinlay, for their support and the wonderful people of San Sebastian."
