Sunderland could be about to offer Ryan Giggs his first job in management, according to Ladbrokes.
The former Manchester United winger has been installed as the early 9/2 favourite for the vacancy, following David Moyes's resignation on Monday.
The bookies have placed the Welshman ahead of the likes of Alan Pardew (5/1), Nigel Pearson and Garry Monk (both 8/1).
Alex Apati, of Ladbrokes, said: "It wasn't too long ago Giggsy was filling in for Moyes at United, and the market currently suggests history will repeat itself at Sunderland."
