On Monday, Sunderland's head coach, Regis Le Bris, was awarded a new long-term contract lasting until 2028 after successfully guiding the club to promotion in the Premier League.

The 49-year-old Frenchman took charge in June 2024 after departing from Lorient. He successfully led the Black Cats back to the top division.

A 2-1 victory against Sheffield United in the Championship play-off final in May signified the club's return to the Premier League after an eight-year hiatus.

"The bond I share with the staff, players, and fans has been organic, and we’ve experienced numerous wonderful moments together," Le Bris stated, as his team prepares to kick off the 2025/26 season at home against West Ham on August 16th.

"The shared ambition is evident, and there is now a strong desire to grow stronger. I can sense the energy and determination to advance, which is crucial for the upcoming challenges we will encounter.

"In every aspect of the organization, each individual has their role to fulfill, and we are all united."

Last season, Sunderland finished fourth in the Championship before achieving a thrilling play-off semi-final victory over Coventry to secure their place at Wembley, where Tommy Watson's decisive goal ensured their return to top-flight football.

The club has recruited eight players during the summer, including former Arsenal and Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Granit Xhaka.

Director of Football Florent Ghisolfi remarked: "Regis' new contract is a recognition of the exceptional work he has done since joining Sunderland, and more importantly, it demonstrates our confidence in the future we are creating together.

"Our goal is to establish Sunderland as a Premier League club—not merely in name, but also in identity, performance, and ambition—and Regis is a key component of that vision."
