Roy Keane's time at Sunderland was largely a successful one, as the former Manchester United midfielder delivered promotion from the Championship back to the Premier League in 2006/06. He then kept them in the division the next season, before resigning in his third season following differences with owner at the time, Ellis Short.
He may be set for a sensational return to the Stadium of Light as it has been reported that Keane is being interviewed for the role after Lee Johnson was sacked last week at the end of a bad run of form which culminated in a 6-0 loss away to Bolton Wanderers.
Keane has already spoken of the desires which have seen him take an interest in a return to management as he appeared on Gary Neville's Sky Sports YouTube series, The Overlap.
