Alex Neil will take charge of Sunderland's game at AFC Wimbledon tomorrow after his appointment as head coach was confirmed by the club this evening.
The 40-year-old has signed a rolling 12-month contract with the club, and will be joined on Wearside by assistant head coach Martin Canning, who was a former teammate of Neil's at Hamilton Academical and also played under him there.
Neil agreed terms with the Black Cats on Thursday and took training at the Academy of Light on Friday morning, before travelling with the squad by train to London - with an image of the new boss wearing a club tracksuit circulating widely on social media during the afternoon.
