The former Fulham manager Chris Coleman is expecting to accept an offer to become the next manager of Spanish side Real Sociedad.
His agent, Alan Smith, said Coleman, sacked by Fulham in April, is "enthusiastic" about the prospect of taking over the Basque club, who were relegated from La Liga earlier this month. However, Sociedad would not be drawn on the possibility of appointing him. "We cannot comment on who will be the team's next manager until after Saturday's administration council meeting," said a club spokesman.
The former Sociedad and current Wales manager, John Toshack, has been mediating with the club to bring Coleman to the Anoeta Stadium.
