Roy Keane leaves the black CatsRoy Keane has left his position as manager of Sunderland, BBC Sport understands.
Sunderland have yet to confirm the exit of Keane, although players and staff were informed of the decision on Thursday morning.
The Black Cats are 18th in the Premier League and have lost five of their last six games.
The ex-Manchester United midfielder took over at Sunderland in 2006 and led them to the Premier League in 2006-07.
"The club is yet to confirm or deny the story," revealed BBC Radio 5 Live football commentator Ian Dennis.
"I understand there have been talks this week between Keane and the board, but his 27-month reign on Wearside is over."
