PEDRO RIBEIRO APPOINTED ASSISTANT HEAD COACH
Sunderland AFC is delighted to welcome Pedro Ribeiro to Wearside.
The Portuguese coach has joined the Club’s first-team backroom staff and will undertake the role of Assistant Head Coach.
Ribeiro, 38, arrives at the Academy of Light with 19 years of coaching experience under his belt and after holding similar roles at FC Porto, Al-Ahli, Olympiacos, Fenerbahçe, and TSV 1860 Munich.
He also has managerial experience in his homeland, having led Belenenses SAD, FC Penafiel, Académico Viseu, and Leixões as Head Coach.
Under the leadership of Régis Le Bris, Ribeiro will work alongside Assistant Head Coach Mike Dodds, First Team Coach Michael Proctor, and Head of Goalkeeping Alessandro Barcherini.
Ribeiro said: “I’m privileged to be part of one of the most historical and progressive Football Clubs in English football. It’s a real honour and I’m grateful for the trust placed in me. I’ll do my best to contribute and to support our players, as we all work to achieve Sunderland’s long-term goals.”
Kristjaan Speakman added: “We are delighted to welcome Pedro to Sunderland. We’ve been diligent and patient in identifying the right candidate for this role to ensure we build on the excellent progress we are making. Pedro has an impressive set of experiences. He can use these to provide an alternative perspective, but importantly he is aligned to our values and playing identity. We wish him the best of luck and look forward to helping him settle into his new role.”
