Sunderland have finally appointed a new head coach with Régis Le Bris now installed as the Black Cats’ new boss after a long wait.
Before the 48-year-old Frenchman’s arrival, Sunderland concluded two pieces of transfer business. Former Portsmouth and AFC Wimbledon goalkeeper Alex Bass departed for League Two club Notts Couty after signing at the Academy of Light two summers ago.
Sunderland then announced the arrival of former Coventry City stopper Simon Moore to add cover, experience and competition to the goalkeeping set-up at the club, with Anthony Patterson still the Black Cats’ number one as things stand.
