Sunderland's David Moyes: Jermain Defoe has exit clause but I'm staying

This is a modal window.

Sunderland's 10-year stay in the Premier League came to an end after their 1-0 loss to Bournemouth.

Sunderland manager David Moyes has confirmed he will remain in the job for their campaign in the Championship next season, but star striker Jermain Defoe could leave following the club's relegation from the Premier League.

Moyes was unable to guide perennial strugglers Sunderland to another season of top-flight safety after his first year in charge at the Stadium of Light, with their drop down a division confirmed with last week's 1-0 defeat at home to Bournemouth.
