Sunderland boss Le Bris signs contract to 2028

Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris has signed a new contract until the summer of 2028.

The 49-year-old was appointed as Black Cats boss in June 2024 following his departure from Lorient.

Le Bris led Sunderland to promotion in his first campaign at the helm, a 2-1 win over Sheffield United in the Championship play-off final in May marking the club’s return to the Premier League after an eight-year absence.

“The connection I have with the staff, players, and supporters has been natural, and we shared many great moments together,” said Le Bris, whose side open their 2025-26 campaign at home to West Ham on August 16.

“The collective ambition is there to see and now, there is a desire to become stronger. I can feel the energy and intent to push forward, and we need that in the next challenges we will face.

“In every part of the organisation, everyone has their own part to play, and we are all aligned.”

Sunderland have signed 10 players as they prepare for the Premier League including club record signing Habib Diarra and former Arsenal captain Granit Xhaka.
