When leaving Everton for Old Trafford Moyes brought his most trusted back-room staff with him, with assistants Steve Round, Phil Neville and Jimmy Lumsden all making the move.

Neville, as well as Gary McAllister and current Leicester youth-coach Inigo Idiakez, had been mentioned in speculation as potential assistants, however Moyes will now be working with an all-local coaching team as he settles into his new club and country.

A statement realeased by the Basque club has confirmed the make-up of his assistants, with 25 year-old youth team coach Erik Bretos to help with translation duties.

"The technical team to be led by David Moyes has now been confirmed," the statement said. "The Scottish coach met this afternoon with the coaches of Zubieta, with whom he will be working shoulder to shoulder with the first team.

"Imanol Alguacil, until now with the youth team, will be assistant coach and Erik Bretos, also a youth coach, will collaborate with translation tasks. Karla Larburu and Roberto Navajas will continue as physical trainer and goalkeeping coach, respectively. Juan Carlos Samaniego will continue as recovery expert."
