Wales coach Chris Coleman is ready to take the Sunderland job.
The Sun says he has quit Wales to become the new manager of struggling Sunderland.
The 47-year-old is set to be officially appointed by the Black Cats by the end of the weekend as he brings his memorable spell as the national team boss to an end.
And he is due to be in charge of the Championship club by Sunday after agreeing a £750,000-a-year deal.
His first match in dug-out for Sunderland will be for their trip to Aston Villa on Tuesday.
Sunderland are currently rock bottom of the second tier and are starting a second straight relegation in the face.
