Player anticipated to receive a card: Conor Bradley.
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Sunderland enjoyed a thriving phase, managing to earn a spot in the Premier League. Despite this accomplishment, they faced several relegations in subsequent years. Notably, they spent 10 uninterrupted seasons in the top division from 2007 to 2017.
After facing demotion to the Championship after the 2016/17 campaign, Sunderland's misfortunes continued, falling further to League One the next season. They've been on a quest to climb back into the Premier League, managing a comeback to the Championship as of the 2023 season where they ranked 6th. Unfortunately, their journey was halted in the playoffs by Luton Town.
While recent seasons have shown some promise, Sunderland has struggled to find consistent leadership with a stable, long-term manager.
Check below for a comprehensive look at the betting odds for who will take over as Sunderland A.F.C's next manager.
On Monday, February 19th, Sunderland declared that head coach Michael Beale's tenure ended after only 12 matches at the helm.
Beale, who took charge in December 2023 on a two-and-a-half-year contract, couldn't make much of a mark with just four victories during his brief period with the team.","Sunderland's heavy 3-0 loss to their local rivals, Newcastle United, in the FA Cup, was followed by two additional back-to-back defeats to Ipswich and Hull. Although Beale's team appeared to rally by collecting seven points in their next trio of games, losses to Huddersfield and Birmingham inevitably led to his dismissal.
The club has appointed Mike Dodds as a temporary manager while the search for Sunderland's next permanent leader is in progress.
Who is likely to step into the managerial role for Sunderland next?
Below are the current live odds from bookmakers predicting Sunderland's upcoming managerial appointment.
Over the years, from its inception in 1879, Sunderland A.F.C has seen numerous managers at its helm.
