Sunderland fans are waiting to find out who will take over as manager.
Whoever does arrive, they will step into the seat once held by all of these famous faces.
We dug out 13 photos of previous managers from the Echo archives going right back to the day Bob Stokoe first stepped out as SAFC manager.
There's Martin O'Neill, Sam Allardyce, Roy Keane and plenty more to look back upon.
Have a look and then get in touch to tell us who should be next to take the job.
