Sunderland have told The Echo their initial thoughts on new head coach Régis Le Bris…

Sunderland fans have delivered their verdicts on new head coach Régis Le Bris after his appointment.

The 48-year-old former FC Lorient manager was installed as Sunderland’s new boss this weekend, signing a three-year deal at the Academy of Light.

After a long summer search, Sunderland eventually landed on Le Bris after advanced talks with Will Still, who eventually picked Rens. Le Bris stated that he was “honoured” to have taken the job with fans now looking ahead to the 2024-25 season.

After Le Bris’ appointment on Saturday night, The Echo conducted a social media poll on Sunderland’s new man, asking the question: “Are you happy with the appointment of Régis Le Bris?” 36.9 per cent of the 2,093 fans polled selected the yes option, with 10.4 per cent voting no. 52.7 per cent of supporters said they were either undecided or reserving judgement.

The Black Cats sacked previous boss Michael Beale last February after just 12 games in charge, following back-to-back Championship defeats. Mike Dodds then took interim charge of the first team until the end of the 2023-24 campaign as the Wearsiders finished 16th.

Sunderland fans, however, were quick to react to the appointment of Le Bris on social media and expanded on the poll results when asked for their thoughts and feelings by The Echo on X.
