Sunderland have appointed Robert de Fanti as their director of football and Valentio Angelino as their chief scout.

Angelino has moved from Inter Milan to link up with Paolo di Canio and de Fanti had previously worked as an agent.

“The recruitment of players is key for any football club and Roberto and Valentino will work closely with the head coach and the board to identify targets for next season and beyond," said Sunderland chief executive Margaret Byrne.
