David Moyes is on the brink of being named Sunderland manager.
The Sun says he will be installed as Sunderland manager this weekend.
The Scot, 53, was lined up by Black Cats owner Ellis Short immediately after Sam Allardyce was approached by the FA over the England job.
It will be Moyes' first Premier League job since being sacked by Manchester United in April 2014.
Sunderland's players are already talking about his imminent appointment and are said to be relaxed about his arrival.
