Keane interviewed for Sunderland job

0

Roy Keane has been interviewed by Sunderland for the vacant manager's position at the Stadium of Light.

The League One club are extremely interested in Keane returning to club after sacking Lee Johnson last Saturday following a 6-0 loss at Bolton, but contrary to reports, the 50-year-old has not been offered the job yet.

Keane was in charge at Sunderland, the former Manchester United and Republic of Ireland midfielder's first managerial role, from 2006 to 2008.

He guided the club to promotion as Championship title-winners in his first season in the job, and then a 15th-placed Premier League finish in the following campaign before resigning in December 2008.

Keane has been out of management since being sacked by Ipswich Town in 2011 but has subsequently had stints on the coaching staff of the Republic of Ireland, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest, and worked as a television pundit.
