Quinn will attempt to revive Sunderland's fortunes
Niall Quinn is expected to take over as Sunderland manager on Tuesday.
The ex-Black Cats striker, who is also in line to take over as chairman this week, is to speak to the media at the club's training ground at 1100 BST.
Quinn has decided to step into the role with the Championship season kicking off in just over two weeks.
And former manager Peter Reid and coach Bobby Saxton may be drafted in to help Quinn get the Stadium of Light club back into the Premiership.
After announcing his consortium had bought a controlling stake in the club earlier this month, Quinn made his first task to find a new manager for the club.
But he has been frustrated in his attempts to fill the role, with moves for former Celtic boss Martin O'Neill and Bolton manager Sam Allardyce both coming to nothing.
And on Monday, following their 2-0 win over Shelbourne, former Republic of Ireland international Quinn outlined his proposal to take over at a board meeting.
But Quinn's intention is to merely fill in until he can appoint a permanent manager.
On 3 July, Quinn announced his Drumaville consortium had been successful with a £10m offer for the north-east club.
He was given 21 days to try and gain the rest of the shares in the club as he attempts to gain full control.
Sunderland were relegated to the Championship with a record low Premiership points total last season and are about £40m in debt.

How hard do you really think he's been looking!

I must be losing it, I don't think Nordin Wooter ever played for Newcastle.
We took him from a dutch team as far as I know.
