Former Sunderland boss may now be set for ‘shock’ move with talks scheduled
A former Sunderland manager may now be set for a shock move, with talks planned over his next potential job.
Sunderland are currently enduring a prolonged search for their next manager, having been without a permanent boss in place since the Black Cats sacked Michael Beale in February.
Sunderland are approaching four months since Beale’s exit and appear to be no closer to hiring their next manager.
It comes after owner Kyril Louis-Dreyfus missed out on top target Will Still to RC Lens, then seeing back-up plan Liam Rosenior pull out of talks to pursue the Burnley job.
Who remains in the running to become the next Sunderland manager remains to be seen. But Sunderland fans are certainly growing tiresome of the search process.
The summer transfer window officially opens for business on June 14th and Sunderland will inevitably be set back in their summer preparations due to the managerial fiasco.
Sporting director Kristjaan Speakman is coming under heavy scrutiny because of it, with journalist Michael Graham claiming that Speakman can no longer save his reputation among Sunderland fans.
But as Sunderland go on without a manager, it looks like Beale may now return to the dugout with a shock move.
Michael Beale set for talks with Maccabi Tel Aviv
An emerging report from The Sun says that Beale, 43, ‘could be set to replace’ former Premier League striker Robbie Keane at Maccabi Tel Aviv, in a ‘shock job move’.
The Sun adds that Beale is ‘one of the names in the frame’ at Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv, after Keane left the club earlier this month.
Keane guided Tel Aviv to the Toto Cup and the Israeli Premier League in 2024, leaving the club with an impressive record of 42 wins in 57 games (73.68%).
