DONE DEAL : Sunderland Signs 3-4-3 Coach As New Manager

The 3-4-3 coach stated that he “would love to be Sunderland manager” and acknowledged that he has previously discussed the present state of affairs at the Stadium of Light with Tony Mowbray.

Since Michael Beale was fired earlier in the season, the Black Cats have been led by interim manager Mike Dodds, although their season has ended in a disastrous manner. After appearing to be legitimate Championship playoff candidates, Sunderland has fallen to 13th place in the standings. Since taking over, Dodds has overseen 11 games, winning just twice, and his team has averaged just 0.82 points per game.

The club is currently searching for a suitable Beale replacement, and many names have been floated in recent months as they attempt to make this crucial choice.

The promising young manager who has excelled in France, Will Still, 31, of Reims, has been frequently connected to the Sunderland position. However, it is unclear if he will be the one to take over. Considering that he has only lately begun managing in the Premier League, former Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper has also surfaced as a potential hire for the Black Cats.

John O’Shea, who played for a long time at the Stadium of Light,

expressed his desire to manage Sunderland at some point in an interview with

the No Tippy Tappy Football podcast [via The Sunderland Echo]:

“When you consider that I spent six or seven years there. It’s a pretty great club,

and I had a great time there. We had a fantastic time there, and yes, in the end,

I would adore managing Sunderland. It’s a challenging one;

I discussed the Birmingham concept with Tony Mowbray during his visit.

They work with young players.”

In actuality, despite serving as the interim leader of the Republic of Ireland,

O’Shea is still a relatively inexperienced manager.

Because of this, Sunderland’s employment of him this summer may be a risky

move at a time when they should be looking to make more assured hires.

The Irishman’s preference for a 3-4-3 formation suggests he has a modern approach to using the wing-backs,

but in his two appearances in the position, he has only managed a 0-0 draw against Belgium and a 1-0 loss to Switzerland. To be fair,

neither of those are especially poor outcomes,

but there is just insufficient data to recommend that Sunderland should take a chance on him.
