Jack Ross was sacked with Sunderland sixth in England's League OneHibernian are on the verge of appointing former Sunderland manager Jack Ross as their head coach. Former Alloa Athletic and St Mirren boss Ross was sacked by the English League One club Sunderland in October. Having ended his playing career with Dunfermline Athletic, Ross was assistant manager at Dumbarton before joining Hearts' coaching staff. However, with his part-time side sitting second in Scottish League One, Ross was persuaded to return to St Mirren, where he spent two seasons as a player. At the end of that campaign, and with Ross having previously rejected overtures from Dundee and Barnsley, Ipswich Town and Sunderland were given permission by St Mirren to speak to their manager.
