Joining Mackems?
Roberto Mancini's agent has publically said that the former Milan coach is willing to speak to Niall Quinn regarding the vacant manager post at The Stadium of Light.

He said "We haven't had any contact with Sunderland at all - I don't think he needs to be promoted under any circumstances," explained De Giorgis.

"The club has to be interested in him first, I would never contact a club on his behalf.

"However, if they call us and ask us to talk to them then we will talk. But it has to be said that going from talking to becoming the manager of any club is quite a difference.

"It depends on what the problems of the club are and everything else. So why not talk to them? Talking doesn't hurt."
