Roy Keane Set To Be Interviewed For Sunderland Job, 13 Years After He Quit The Club

​Keane, 50, is being lined up for sensational talks with the club's board following the sacking of Lee Johnson.

The League One outfit parted ways with Johnson after they were hammered 6-0 at Bolton last weekend. 

The Black Cats want to speak to Keane, who, of course, led the club to the Premier League after winning the Championship title in the 2006/07 season. 

Owner Kyril Louis-Dreyfus and sporting director Kristjaan Speakman​ will lead the interview process, with the report claiming they expect to have a conversation with Keane. 

He's evens to land the role, according to bookies - with Micah Richards taking to social media to react. 

The Irishman's first managerial gig was taking charge of the Stadium of Light side. ​

​But his time at the club came to an end after a falling out with former owner Ellis Short. 

Keane last managed at Ipswich in 2011.

He's kept himself busy with punditry roles at ITV and Sky Sports.
