Advocaat weighing Sunderland options

Dick Advocaat will decide if he wants to remain as Sunderland manager by next week after the emotional Dutchman wept tears of joy following the 0-0 draw at Arsenal that secured his side's Premier League survival.

Advocaat's team gave an obdurate defensive display at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday to earn the point it needed to be certain of avoiding relegation.

And the usually taciturn Black Cats boss responded by showing his softer side as he began to cry while celebrating with his players and fans at fulltime.
