Sunderland expected to name Gus Poyet as their new manager
According to Sky Sports Sunderland expect to appoint Gus Poyet as manager in the next 24 hours.
Kevin Ball has been in interim charge for more than a fortnight since the demise of Paolo Di Canio and he has overseen a League Cup win over Peterborough and league defeats to Liverpool and Manchester United.
Former Brighton boss Gus Poyet held talks with Sunderland shortly after Paolo Di Canio was sacked in September.
And his odds to take over at the Stadium of Light were slashed on Monday morning, with Poyet 1/12 to get the job according to Sky Bet.
