Regis Le Bris has made a major decision on his future with Sunderland ahead of the club's return to Premier League action. On Monday (August 4), the 49-year-old pledged his commitment to The Black Cats as he penned a new deal until 2028.

Le Bris was appointed in late June 2024 and guided Sunderland back to the Premier League via the Championship play-offs last term.

Derek: It is a reward which is very well deserved. He has achieved things with the team that many, including me, had doubts about when he was appointed. Arthur: Well deserved! An intelligent, modest man but is showing he can be ruthless in his aims.
