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.
It is understood Coleman has agreed a two-and-a-half-year deal with the Black Cats, and he is expected to be officially unveiled early this week.
