Roy Keane would be a 'great fit' for Sunderland according to Martin O'Neill, with the Manchester United legend still the favourite to fill vacant head coach's role on Wearside.
The Black Cats are searching for a new head coach after sacking Lee Johnson a week ago, and Keane held talks with the club with a view to returning to the Stadium of Light for a second spell in charge 13 years after his first stint came to an end.
A former Sunderland manager himself, O'Neill knows Keane well after spending five years working with him with the Republic of Ireland national team and a further five months working together at Nottingham Forest, in both cases with O'Neill as manager and Keane his assistant.
