Real Sociedad appoint Montanier as coach on two-year deal Real Sociedad bet on Philippe Montanier as their coach for the next two seasons to promote them up the league ranks like he did with modest Valenciennes
Real Sociedad have appointed Philippe Montanier to be their coach for the next two seasons after agreeing a compensation package with French club Valenciennes, the Spanish side said in a statement. The 46-year-old Frenchman replaces Uruguayan Martin Lasarte, who led them to promotion to La Liga in 2010 and then a 15th-placed finish last month. Montanier, a former goalkeeper, guided Boulogne to promotion to Ligue 1 for the first time in 2009, and led modest Valenciennes to tenth in the league the following season.
