Following Tony Mowbray’s dismissal in early December, the Black Cats were positioned just three points outside the playoffs with a positive goal difference. However, the club’s fortunes took a downturn in the aftermath of Mowbray’s departure, resulting in Sunderland’s descent into the bottom half of the Championship table, perilously close to the relegation zone. Their aspirations of Premier League promotion have been dashed, particularly after suffering a humiliating 5-1 defeat at home to Blackburn Rovers, leaving them trailing 13 points behind Norwich City, who occupy the final playoff place. As the season progresses, Sunderland’s pursuit of a new manager continues, with speculation swirling around potential candidates.

Liverpool is reportedly eyeing Sunderland’s rising talent, Chris Rigg, with several top European clubs closely monitoring the midfielder’s progress. The 16-year-old prodigy made his debut for the Black Cats under former manager Tony Mowbray at the age of 15 in December 2022, and has since made ten more appearances for the North-East club. Notably, Rigg etched his name in Sunderland’s history by becoming the youngest-ever goalscorer for the club at just 16 years and 51 days, finding the net in an EFL Cup clash against Crewe Alexandra in August.
