Still, 31, was the first choice of Sunderland's owner Kyril Louis-Dreyfus and sporting director Kristjaan Speakman following the dismissal of Tony Mowbray in December.

Unpopular with supporters from the outset, Beale was dismissed by the Championship club on Monday having won just four of his 12 matches at the helm.
Mike Dodds, the club's head of individual player development, was immediately installed as interim head coach until the end of the season - a move publicly endorsed by several members of the Sunderland dressing room.
