Dick Advocaat resigned as Sunderland manager on Sunday, the club confirmed.
The Dutchman, who had masterminded Sunderland's great escape last season, steps down with immediate effect, with the club second-bottom in the Premier League and without a win this season.
``I want to thank everyone who has stood behind me,’’ Advocaat said in a statement.
``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 turn things around - like we did last year.’’
