Sunderland Turn to Dick Advocaat Following Sacking of Gus Poyet
Advocaat replaces Gus Poyet, who was sacked on Monday with Sunderland
a point clear of the relegation places, and the Dutchman has nine games
to preserve the club's Premier League status.
The job is the 67-year-old Advocaat's first in England, although he did spend three-and-a-half years at Rangers around the turn of the century.
His first task is to prepare a side for this weekend's trip to West Ham.
Advocaat visited some staff at the Stadium of Light on Tuesday morning before meeting the players and supervising his first training session; it is understood he will not be presented to the media until later in the week.
