Premier League - Houllier rules out Sunderland job
Former Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier has said he is "not interested" in becoming Sunderland's new boss.
The Frenchman is one of several high-profile candidates to have been linked with the job since Roy Keane's resignation last week.
But the current technical director of the French Football Federation has confirmed he is not looking to return to the Premier League.
He also revealed he had not been contacted by Sunderland chairman Niall Quinn about the Stadium of Light vacancy.
Houllier told Canal Plus: "No, I'm not interested. And I haven't been contacted directly."
Houllier was second-favourite with the bookmakers to succeed Keane, with Sam Allardyce the leading contender.
Allardyce has expressed an interest in taking on the role, although Phil Brown and former manager Peter Reid have ruled out the job.
Ricky Sbragia is currently the caretaker manager and will hope to end a run of three straight defeats against fellow strugglers West Brom on Saturday.
