Roy Keane will not be taking over as Sunderland manager

Roy Keane will not be the next Sunderland manager, according to reports in the UK.

Former Sunderland boss Roy Keane is no longer in the running to return to the club after the two parties failed to reach an agreement, multiple UK media outlets are reporting.

Sunderland had held formal talks with Keane after sacking Lee Johnson at the end of last month and it is understood the former Manchester United captain was the leading candidate.
