Keane sacks his reserve team coach Richardson

ROY KEANE has axed reserve team coach Kevin Richardson in a backroom reshuffle at Sunderland.

Former Everton and Arsenal midfielder Richardson has lost his job after Ricky Sbragia’s return to Wearside from Bolton.

Geordie Richardson, a League title winner with Everton in 1985 and the Gunners four years later, revealed that Sbragia will work with the first team while Neil Bailey takes charge of the reserves.
