Kidd joins Blades
Sunderland boss Roy Keane's hopes of adding Brian Kidd to his staff were dashed when the ex-Manchester United coach agreed to join Sheffield United.
Keane had targeted Kidd, 57, who was once United manager Sir Alex Ferguson's right-hand man and who also worked with ex-England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson.
Blades boss Neil Warnock told The Independent: "I'm absolutely delighted.
"We needed to bring somebody else in, I've been working on him for six weeks, he's the sort of person we need."
The post at Sheffield United will be Kidd's first since winning a battle with prostate cancer.
Warnock insists that Stuart McCall's position as his number two will not be compromised by Kidd's arrival.
"He's just an extra body and brain, a very good and experienced one," added Warnock.
