New Sunderland manager David Moyes says that he wants to bring "stability" to the club as he becomes the seventh boss in five years at the Stadium of Light.

New Sunderland manager David Moyes has claimed that he intends to bring "stability" to the club after signing a four-year deal at the Stadium of Light.

The former Everton, Manchester United and Real Sociedad boss was appointed as Sam Allardyce's successor nine days ago.

Allardyce spent nine months in charge of the Black Cats before taking the England job, and there has been regular turnover with regards to coaching staff in the last five years.

The North-East outfit have appointed seven managers in that time, and Moyes will be the club's 13th boss since 1999, but the Scotsman is hopeful that he will fulfil his contract.

"This has to be a building job," Moyes told reporters in his first official press conference as Sunderland boss. "I'm here for four years and I'm aiming to bring stability.

"Sunderland is a big club and we need to make progress up the league and compete where we should be competing. Sunderland have potential that many clubs don't have, but we have to progress."

In the last four seasons, the club have been battling against relegation.
