Paolo Di Canio has been appointed head coach of Sunderland.
The 44-year-old Italian, who succeeds Martin O'Neill, has agreed a two-and-a-half-year deal with the Wearside club.
Di Canio, who led Swindon Town to promotion from League Two last season but resigned in February, has no top-flight managerial experience.
The Black Cats sacked O'Neill on Saturday after a run of poor results left them only one point above the relegation zone with seven games left.
