Sunderland set to miss out on Di Matteo

Sunderland could be forced to reassess their managerial targets after former Chelsea boss Roberto Di Matteo opened talks with Galatasaray.

The Italian, who has been out of work since departing Stamford Bridge last November, is one of the front-runners to replace Paolo Di Canio at the Stadium of Light.

But Galatasaray are also on the hunt for a new manager after sacking Fatih Terim and they have sounded out Di Matteo.

The Turkish giants have made the Italian their No.1 choice and will look to tie up a deal this week.

Roberto Mancini is also in the running but Galatasaray are believed to have concerns over the former Manchester City manager's salary demands.
