Unai Emery in line to become new Real Sociedad coach

The possibility of Paris Saint-Germain coach Unai Emery taking over at Real Sociedad next season is picking up pace. 

Emery is the choice of the club's new sporting director, Roberto Olabe, someone he knows from his playing days at Anoeta in 1995-96. 

In fact, it was Olabe who gave Emery his first big chance in management, landing him the Almeria job in 2006-07. 

It seems a given now that Emery will leave PSG this summer, with German coach Thomas Tucehl tipped to take over in Paris. 

Real Sociedad targetted Emery before after his success at Almeria, but on that occasion he opted to take over at Valencia.
