Chris Coleman set to be confirmed as Sunderland boss as footage emerges of him appearing to take first-team training at the Championship club

Chris Coleman is set to be confirmed as the new Sunderland manager on Sunday after video footage has emerged of him appearing to take first-team training.

Footage from Sky Sports appeared to show the ex-Wales boss taking first-team training less than 24 hours after the Black Cats hit a new low in a 2-2 draw with Millwall.

The result made Sunderland the first team in English football history to go 20 home games without a win - and made an appointment to replace the sacked Simon Grayson a matter of urgency.
