Sunderland boss Dick Advocaat was unable to confirm his future at the club |
SUNDERLAND boss Dick Advocaat admits he cannot say whether he will be manager of the club when they play West Brom after the international break.
The Black Cats are still searching for their first Premier League win of the season after giving up a 2-0 lead to draw against West Ham.
Steven Fletcher gave Sunderland the lead after firing home from Yann M'Vila's free-kick before Jeremain Lens' chip gave put the Black Cats in the ascendency.
However, goals from Carl Jenkinson and Dimitri Payet either side of a red card for Lens was enough to secure a point.
"I don't want to give an answer on that. I cannot say I will be the manager for the next game," said Advocaat on his future.
Steven Fletcher gave the Black Cats the lead and insists the team are unaffected by the specualtion |
Fletcher, who gave Sunderland the lead, insists the speculation surrounding the departure of Advocaat has not affected the team.
"The gaffer has been the same as usual, we have been working hard in training to get a performance like that. The first half we could have had a few more goals and we were unlucky to concede close to half-time so on that behalf we showed we had a fighting spirit.”
This draw sees Sunderland stay bottom of the Premier League table while West Ham's sit 4th.
