Roy Keane: 'Next few days' key amid Sunderland manager job links

Roy Keane has hinted he could become Sunderland manager again and suggested the next few days will determine whether he returns to the Sky Bet League One club.

The former Republic of Ireland and Manchester United captain has been linked with returning to the club he managed between 2006 and 2008 and led into the Premier League.

Asked about speculation surrounding a return, Keane told ITV: "I've made it clear over the last few years I'd like to go back as a manager.

"But, of course, a club has to want you, you have to want to go to that club. Just as important the contract has got to be right. We'll see how things take shape over the next few days."
