Sunderland eyeing move for “incredible” former Premier League manager
The Black Cats are looking to nail Michael Beale’s long-term replacement.
Sunderland are reportedly interested in appointing an “incredible” former Premier League manager, as they search for Michael Beale’s long-term successor at the Stadium of Light.
Sunderland manager latest
Beale was sacked by the Black Cats on Monday, despite only taking charge of 12 matches after arriving back in December, with the job he was doing not deemed good enough by the board. Sunderland were beaten 2-1 away to Birmingham City last weekend, which proved to be the straw that broke the camel’s back, especially after the Englishman seemingly ignored a handshake with Trai Hume as he left the field.
The hunt is now on for the Championship side to find a new long-term manager, with Mike Dodds named as interim boss until the end of the season.
A move for Will Still could be possible, with the 31-year-old having a release clause at Reims that means he may leave this summer, but another name has also been thrown into the hat.
Sunderland eyeing Steve Cooper
According to a report from TEAMtalk, Sunderland are eyeing a move for Steve Cooper, with the Welshman sacked by Nottingham Forest earlier in the season.
