With Sunderland looking to finally appoint a new permanent manager, Sky Sports’ Keith Downie has provided an update on their pursuit of Lorient man Regis Le Bris.
Sunderland manager news
A month since a disappointing Championship season came to an end, Sunderland are yet to appoint a new boss. Several names have been linked, but not one has arrived, be that Paul Heckingbottom, Pascal Jansen or Will Still. Those at the Stadium of Light are clearly keen to get things right after their nightmare Michael Beale appointment midway through the last campaign.
Under Tony Mowbray, Sunderland found themselves battling for a place in the Championship’s top six. Not content with where they were, however, Kyril Louis-Dreyfus and co decided to part ways with the former Blackburn Rovers boss and turn to Beale fresh from his Rangers sacking. What followed was the story of Sunderland’s season, with Beale winning four of just 12 games in nine weeks, before the Black Cats pulled the plug on a decision to forget.
