SUNDERLAND SACKED THEIR manager Gus Poyet on Monday, less than 48 hours after a humbling home loss to fellow Premier League strugglers Aston Villa.
The Uruguayan paid the price for a poor run of results that has left the Black Cats fourth from bottom after Saturday’s 4-0 rout, the club’s sixth game without a win.
In a statement Sunderland, one point above the relegation zone, announced: “Sunderland AFC have parted company with head coach Gus Poyet this afternoon.”
Ireland management team Roy Keane and Martin O’Neill are both currently 20/1 to take over, while Dick Advocaat is the early favourite at 6/5.
Gus Poyet has become the 7th Premier League manager to lose his job this season
