English Premier News :: Roy Keane resigns as manager of Sunderland

Posted on 2008-12-04 by Gooner

Roy Keane has resigned as manager of Sunderland after 27 months in charge.

Keane, 37, took over in 2006 but chose to step down with the club lying 18th in the Premier League following five defeats in six matches.

First team coach Ricky Sbragia has been placed in temporary charge, assisted by coaches Neil Bailey and Dwight Yorke.

Keane is the fifth managerial departure in the Premier League this season.

Juande Ramos was sacked as Tottenham manager - Harry Redknapp switching from Portsmouth to replace him - and Alan Curbishley and Kevin Keegan left posts at West Ham and Newcastle respectively.
