Roy Keane has been confirmed as Sunderland's new manager.
The former Manchester United and Celtic midfielder has signed a three-year contract at the Stadium of Light.
He penned the deal after watching Sunderland beat West Brom 2-0, their first win of the season.
Keane, capped 65 times for the Republic of Ireland, earned legendary status in a glittering 12-year career at Old Trafford, when he was widely regarded as the most influential midfielder of the modern era.
He made a total of 480 League and cup appearances for United, scoring 51 goals and winning no less than 13 trophies during a golden era for the club.
Leicester City's Tony Loughlan joins Keane at the club, in the roll of head coach.
Keane, a former international team-mate of Quinn, watched from the stands as the Black Cats reversed a five-game losing run. He begins his jon proper tomorrow.
Sunderland chairman Quinn expressed his delight at getting his man. Quinn said: "This represents a major coup for our football club.
"The fact that one of the most influential figures in world football is willing to come and help unlock the massive potential here should make all Sunderland fans very happy and excited for the future.
"Roy Keane's standards of professionalism are legendary and his desire and determination to succeed are precisely what this club requires.
"Let's all support and enjoy one of football's true greats as he embarks on what we all hope will be a fantastic new chapter in Sunderland Football Club's rich and proud history."
