London - English Premier League strugglers Sunderland have named former Dutch national coach Dick Advocaat as their new manager on Tuesday.
Sunderland quickly made the appointment after sacking Gus Poyet on Monday following a stinging 4-0 home defeat by Aston Villa. The 67-year-old was named as coach for the rest of the season in a club statement.
Sunderland chairman Ellis Short said: "Dick has an incredible CV and vast experience of managing at the very highest level. We have one aim only now -- to climb the table and everyone is fully focused on the task ahead of us."
