Former Sunderland boss Roy Keane is taking coaching sessions at Benfica.

The Portuguese giants have turned to the former Sunderland boss, 36, in their quest to land the title, says the News of the World.

Director of football Rui Costa contacted Keane to oversee training ahead of last night's Guimaraes clash.

Keane - linked with Blackburn before Sam Allardyce got the nod - is now desperate to get back into the hotseat at a big club, so willingly took up the offer.
