Keane and Sunderland agree terms

Former Manchester United skipper Roy Keane has agreed terms to become the new manager of Sunderland.

Keane is expected to sign a contract after the home Championship game against West Brom on Monday.

The 35-year-old was introduced to the Black Cats squad by chairman Niall Quinn on Sunday.

Keane faces a tough challenge with the club bottom of the Championship after four consecutive league defeats after their relegation last season.

The club were also knocked out of the Carling Cup after a 2-0 loss to lowly Bury.

It will be the former Nottingham Forest, Manchester United and Celtic midfielder's first steps into management, after injury ended his glittering playing career in June 2006.

Keane will replace his former Republic of Ireland team-mate Quinn, who has occupied the role while a permanent choice was sought.

A statement on the club's website said: "Roy Keane visited Sunderland today where he met with players and officials from the club.

"Keane and the club have agreed terms for him to be appointed as manager, and it is envisaged that he will sign a formal contract immediately after Sunderland's game against West Brom tomorrow."

Quinn and his Drumaville consortium bought out former chairman Bob Murray during the summer.
