"It's a nice feeling to be back in football and obviously I'm very excited about joining Sunderland. It's a big moment and I'm hoping it works out well," said O'Neill.<br />

"Naturally, I want to do well for the fans, the team and myself. If we can combine all this and start winning football matches, it would be terrific."<br />

O'Neill watched on as Sunderland slumped to a 2-1 defeat to Wolves at the weekend, with the Northern Irishman no doubt planning how he could reverse his club's fortunes.
