Bottom club Sunderland to stick with manager Le Bris

Sunderland manager Regis le Bris is set to be given more time to turn things around despite his side's poor start to the Premier League season.

Le Bris is under pressure after Saturday's defeat at Coventry left the Black Cats bottom of the table with just one win from their first nine league matches.

However, club sources have told BBC Sport they believe the Frenchman can bring about an improvement in results.

Sunderland face Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League at the Stadium of Light on Thursday, then host Chelsea in the league on Sunday before the international break begins.

Le Bris joined Sunderland from Lorient in 2024 and, in his first season in charge, oversaw promotion back to the Premier League after an eight-year absence.

The 50-year-old then guided the Black Cats to an impressive seventh-placed finish a year later, securing a spot in the Europa League.

It was the first time Sunderland had qualified for European competition in 53 years.

They have won two and drawn one of their Europa League league phase matches so far.
