    Real Sociedad: Real Sociedad coach Pellegrino Matarazzo has become a popular figure in San Sebastian after leading the club to the fourth Copa del Rey title in its history with a 4-3 penalty shoot-out win over Atletico Madrid following a 2-2 draw after 120 minutes on Saturday night.

    The former Hoffenheim and Stuttgart coach became the first American to win a major trophy in Spain. Speaking to Spanish radio station Cadena Ser in the early hours of Tuesday morning, Real Sociedad president Jokin Aperribay admitted that if he had followed artificial intelligence, Matarazzo would never have arrived.

    Aperribay explained that the idea to appoint the American coach came from Real Sociedad sporting director Erik Bretos, reports Xinhua.
