Profile
Régis Le Bris is head coach of Sunderland, where he took charge in the summer of 2024 following the club's promotion to the Premier League. The French manager has the task of establishing the Black Cats in the top flight after their return from the Championship. His appointment came on the back of an impressive record in the division below, and he will be looking to build on Sunderland's momentum as they prepare for life among England's elite.
Le Bris began his managerial career in France, working with several clubs before moving to Lorient, where he established himself as a progressive coach. He has also managed sides including Auxerre and Nantes, building a reputation for attractive, attacking football. Prior to his switch to the Stadium of Light, Le Bris spent time abroad and developed a coaching philosophy centred on technical development and high-pressing tactics. His playing career was modest by comparison, spent largely in the lower reaches of French football.
