Sunderland set sights on London-born boss, sacked in January
Sunderland set sights on London-born boss, sacked in January
According to writer Alan Nixon on X, Sunderland has a “serious interest” in available manager Pascal Jansen.
Sunderland has spent more than a hundred days searching for a new manager.
In February, they fired Michael Beale and again put coach Mike Dodds in charge as interim manager.
Fans are frustrated with the Black Cats’ lack of progress in their hunt,
despite the fact that the transfer gave them plenty of time to find their ideal target.
As competitors in the Championship hire their own managers,
names have been mentioned and now there is “serious interest” in another manager.
After speculation about a possible transfer for Dutchman Pascal Jansen, who was born in London,
Jansen has not had a job. He had been Arne Slot’s assistant manager before taking on this position,
which he had held for just over three years.

It’s understandable that Sunderland supporters are getting weary of the constant managerial connections,
particularly as none have resulted in an appointment to date.
However, Jansen is a compelling contender who might be well-liked.
Jansen made an excellent transition from his several duties as an assistant manager and
academy head to that of manager at AZ Alkmaar. In 162 appearances, he averaged 1.93 points per game,
leading the Dutch team in European football (Transfermarkt).
In an attempt to regain the dugout after being fired in the winter,
an opportunity to prove himself in a fiercely competitive league would be provided by a trip to the Stadium of Light.
An appointment is needed soon
By now, the Black Cats should have a new leader in place.
They have undoubtedly lost ground to Championship opponents in their quest for a stronger roster for the upcoming campaign.
Although the Sunderland management has authority over that topic,
the absence of a manager will have affected recruitment strategy.
Yes, players and staff are still on breaks at teams throughout the EFL.
Players will not have benefited from the lack of clarity when it comes to making decisions regarding their own futures.
Maybe Jansen is the answer to Wearside’s prayers at last, since their earnest interest should result in a long-awaited appointment.
