The long wait for a new permanent Sunderland manager was finally brought to an end on Saturday when the Black Cats confirmed the appointment of Regis Le Bris.
Over 120 days had passed since Michael Beale left his role at the Stadium of Light and left Mike Dodds to take interim charge for the remainder of the season - but finally, there is a new man in place after the former Lorient boss was officially appointed following his departure from the recently relegated Ligue 1 club.
