Roy Keane is no longer in the running to be the new Sunderland manager, according to reports.
The Manchester United and Ireland legend had been heavily linked with the vacancy at the League One club after previous incumbent Lee Johnson was relieved of his duties last month following a humiliating 6-0 loss at Bolton Wanderers.
Keane, 50, previously bossed Sunderland between 2006 and 2008. In that time he led them to promotion from the Championship before preserving their Premier League status.
