‘All over the place’… Former Sunderland loan man slams club over manager fiasco

Sunderland has now surpassed the four-month mark without having a manager in place. The club dismissed Michael Beale on February 19th, 2024, and appointed Mike Dodds as interim manager until the summer. Since then, it seems Sunderland owner Kyril Louis-Dreyfus has missed out on several top candidates for the managerial position. Will Still, the top choice, reportedly agreed to replace Beale but ended up taking the RC Lens job. Liam Rosenior was then in line for further talks before he also withdrew, leaving Sunderland struggling in their search. Both Louis-Dreyfus and sporting director Kristjaan Speakman have faced significant criticism, and now former Sunderland loan player Alan Hutton has voiced his opinion on the matter.

Will Still’s departure from Reims allows him to potentially join Sunderland without the club having to pay compensation. The 31-year-old coach, who left Reims by mutual agreement, is now a free agent. Sunderland, searching for a coach to develop their young talent and push for promotion, has identified Still as a top target, alongside other candidates like Rene Maric and Paul Heckinbottom. Still’s desire to work in England aligns with Sunderland’s aims, making him a strong contender for the role.
