Days after Dick Advocaat walked away from the Black Cats, Sunderland have begun the task of finding a new man to take the managerial role at the Stadium of Light.
However, the Black Cats are finding the task of replacing the Dutch manager challenging.
Sporting director Lee Congerton has been given the role of finding a new manager for the club, despite he too handing in his letter of resignation from his role at the club.
After a few days without a manager, it seems as though no one wants to go near the Sunderland job as several potential managers have rejected the club.
