Former Rangers and Holland boss Dick Advocaat has been appointed the Sunderland manager until the end of the season.
The Dutchman, who most recently took charge of the Serbian national side, takes over from Gus Poyet, who was sacked on Monday afternoon.
Speaking about the appointment, Sunderland chairman Ellis Short said: “Dick has an incredible CV and vast experience of managing at the very highest level. We have one aim only now - to climb the table and everyone is fully focused on the task ahead of us.”
Advocaat said: “Sunderland is a big club and I am very much looking forward to the challenge ahead. We must now concentrate on Saturday as a priority and I can’t wait to get started.”
