Manchester United legend Gary Neville is being tipped for the Sunderland job.
Former Sunderland captain Michael Gray, who played with Neville as a junior at United, has tipped the England coach for the job.
"Let's have somebody who is going to be in charge for two or three seasons, whether that's Di Matteo, Gus Poyet or even someone like Gary Neville. He's fresh, enthusiastic, he's been a part of the England squad, so why not have someone like him?" Gray queried on talkSPORT.
