David Moyes has turned down the chance to become the next manager of Sunderland.
The 52-year-old Real Sociedad boss was targeted by the Stadium of Light club as they look to find a replacement for Dick Advocaat who announced he was leaving his role as head coach on Tuesday.
Owner Ellis Short was prepared to offer a lucrative wage package and a healthy transfer kitty that would ensure Sunderland could bring in up to six quality signings, as recommended by Advocaat.
After talks took place on Thursday, Moyes decided the challenge was not for him and he has opted to stay in Spain.
The former Manchester United and Everton boss has also been sounded out about the vacant post at West Ham but it is understood it would take a bigger offer to tempt him away from Sociedad where he has settled quickly.
