Former Sunderland manager Jack Ross joins Newcastle United as academy coach

Former Sunderland manager Jack Ross has joined Newcastle United to become the club's interim Head of Coach Development within their academy on a short-term basis.

Ross was appointed as Sunderland boss ahead of the 2018/19 campaign. His first full season in charge of the Black Cats would see him lead the club to the final of the League One play-offs where they would eventually lose to Charlton Athletic.

Sunderland would part ways with Ross a few months into the 2019/20 term following a 2-0 loss to Lincoln City after they sat sixth in League One. And now the club's former manager has traded Wearside for Tyneside to team up with the academy of bitter rivals Newcastle.
