Sky sources understand Jack Ross will be confirmed as Sunderland’s new manager today.
24/05/18
St Mirren confirmed this evening they’ve given Sunderland permission to speak to the highly-rated Ross, hours after we reported at lunchtime a broad agreement was in place between Sunderland and the Scottish PFA Manager of the Year.
We understand he’ll earn £350,000 - five times his St Mirren salary - and he has accepted the job after being promised the minimum of a year to turn things round.
He’s agreed a two- year deal, with the option of a third. St Mirren are due £50,000 compensation for Ross’s services, but are seeking more given the nature of the approach.
