Irureta in frame to replace Welshman

Chris Coleman will be asked to consider his future at Real Sociedad in the New Year. Coleman was appointed Sociedad manager in June but the club's impending presidential election means his future is uncertain. Presidential hopeful Inaki Badiola has lined up former Deportivo La Coruna boss Javier Irureta to replace Coleman. Badiola is set to speak with Coleman over the next few days and he thinks the former Fulham manager has a tough decision to make. "Our intention is to meet Coleman when he returns from holiday on December 29 or 30 and, when we talk about new signings, he will make a decision on whether to stay," Badiola said in the Daily Mail. "If he decides not to stay then Javier Irureta will be our coach." Sociedad are currently sixth in Spain's Segunda division.
