Dick Advocaat has stepped down as head coach of Sunderland, the Premier League club announced on Sunday.

Advocaat, 68, was appointed last March and pulled off a great escape, but they have made a poor start to the current campaign and sit second-bottom with
three points from eight games.

"I want to thank everyone who has stood behind me," Advocaat said in a statement released by the club.

"This is a very special football club, with so many great people, but I feel it is the right time to do this not for me, but for the club.

I have made the decision to go after only eight games as I felt it was important to give everyone time (to) turn things around like we did last year."
