 ![]() Confirmed: Mike Dodds appointed interim Head CoachSunderland AFC has appointed Mike Dodds as the Club’s interim Head Coach. Dodds will lead the first team until the end of the 2023-24 season and replace Michael Beale, who departs the Stadium of Light with immediate effect. A member of the Club’s coaching team since August 2021, Dodds took charge of the Black Cats earlier this campaign and guided them to back-to-back wins in the Sky Bet Championship. Sporting Director Kristjaan Speakman said: “We are disappointed that Michael is leaving Sunderland AFC. Our desire is to improve and unfortunately that hasn’t been evident, as such we take full accountability and feel that acting decisively is in the best interests of the Club. This has been a difficult few months for Michael, who leaves with our best wishes for the future. Our focus is now on the players and supporting Mike Dodds in the remaining games to ensure we achieve the highest possible league finish. We will be updating our supporters further as and when significant developments are made.” |

Sunderland’s 27-year-old owner, Kyril Louis-Dreyfus, had fallen out with Mowbray when the latter publicly emphasised this glaring flaw in the club’s recruitment blueprint.
