Alex Neil has reportedly agreed a deal to become Sunderland’s new manager after talks with Roy Keane broke down.
That is according to Sky Sports’ Keith Downie, who claims that former Preston boss Neil - who has been out of work since losing his job at Deepdale last year – could be announced as soon as this evening, with the club keen on having him in the dugout for this weekend’s trip to AFC Wimbledon.
Sunderland have been on the lookout for a new boss following Lee Johnson’s sacking early last week, who was relieved of his duties following the 6-0 defeat at Bolton Wanderers.
