Who is in line to take over at Sunderland?
Club chairman Ellis Short is keen to speak to former West Ham boss Sam Allardyce, among others, as he seeks a replacement.
Allardyce has been out of the game since leaving the Hammers at the end of last season.
Former Leicester manager Nigel Pearson and Burnley's Sean Dyche are also in line as are Karl Robinson of MK Dons and Burton's Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.
