Sunderland are still searching for a replacement for Simon Grayson.
Sunderland parted company with Simon Grayson last month, following a draw with Bolton Wanderers, and they were expected to appoint a new permanent boss over the international break.
However, Sunderland are still searching for Grayson’s successor, and they have only just began the interview process.
The Black Cats are keen to discuss the job face-to-face with potential candidates, but they were determined not to rush into making a permanent appointment.
