Sunderland boss Advocaat shrugs off derby praise

Sunderland boss Dick Advocaat has shrugged off praise coming his way after victory over Newcastle United.

Advocaat is no stranger to silverware, saying the plaudits around their derby triumph are nothing new.

"I'm not being arrogant but that is a normal situation for me," he said, when asked if support for him was growing.

"At the clubs I have worked at and the prizes I have won, it is normal for the fans to think that way. It is good to be back in club management. I enjoy working with people."
