Sunderland's board continues to support manager Régis Le Bris despite recent poor results.

Sunderland's board has made clear its continued support for manager Régis Le Bris following recent defeats, including a loss to Coventry City. Sources revealed to the Shields Gazette and Sunderland Echo that the club's hierarchy retains backing for Le Bris despite mounting frustration with the team's Premier League form.

The Sunderland Echo points to an alarming statistic affecting 80 per cent of the squad, underlining the scale of improvements required in attack and defence. Nevertheless, the board's stance suggests Le Bris will be given time to address these deficiencies rather than facing immediate pressure over his position.
