David Moyes secured a 4 year deal Sunderland

Former Manchester United manager, David Moyes has been appointed Sunderland's manager after signing a four-year deal with the club.

The new manager will be paid more than the £2million-a-year Sam Allardyce earned at the Stadium of Light.

Speaking to the club's website, Moyes said: “I am delighted to have joined Sunderland. I am relishing the challenge and excited by the opportunity. I have taken over a big British club, with a great support and I’m looking forward to working in the Premier League again. I look forward to continuing the good work done by Sam.”
