Gordon Strachan stands down at Celtic
Strachan announced his decision to stand down as manager 24 hours after Celtic failed to clinch a fourth successive Scottish Premier League title.
Strachan told the club's website: "I have enjoyed my time immensely at Celtic and clearly I will be sad to leave this great club.
"We have done all we can to bring success to the club and we were delighted to deliver three SPL titles, other domestic silverware, as well as making some great progress in Europe.
"It is just disappointing that we did not manage the fourth championship."
It is believed that the former Scotland international has grown tired of criticism from a section of the club's fans and a lack of backing from the board in the transfer market.
Strachan is said to be one of the leading contenders for the Sunderland vacancy following Sbragia's decision to stand down as manager.
Sbragia revealed his decision after securing Sunderland's Premier League status on Sunday despite a last-day 3-2 defeat to Chelsea at the Satdium of Light.
Sbragia, alongside chairman Niall Quinn, said he was walking away to allow a "bigger name" to take over the position.
Strachan would certainly fill that bill after winning three titles and three domestic cups in his four years in charge at Parkhead.
