Sunderland Roundup: Latest on David Moyes and Jermaine Defoe

Sunderland manager David Moyes has handed in his resignation following the relegation of the Black cats.

According to Guardian, the former Manchester United has decided to leave with compensation. Moyes informed the club’s owner, Ellis Short, and chief executive, Martin Bain, of his decision during a meeting in London today.

Sunderland have had a season to forget in the Premier League. Moyes managed to win just six matches all season and the Black cats will now need to prepare for a fresh start in the Championship.

Earlier it was believed that Moyes was willing to continue at the club and guide them to promotion next season.
