New Sunderland boss Ricky Sbragia is yet to decide if he will appoint new staff to his coaching team.

"I haven't made up my mind yet, I'll be looking at that over the next few days," said Sbragia, who was handed an 18-month contract by chairman Niall Quinn.

"Sometimes it's less than 18 months - it can be two months or three months (before a manager loses his job)," he pointed out. "I was happy with that. Niall's been different class to me and I was pleased."
