**Breaking News: Sunderland AFC Head Coach Régis Le Bris Fired by Club Owner**
Sunderland AFC has officially parted ways with head coach Régis Le Bris following a disappointing start to the season. Club owner Kyril Louis-Dreyfus made the announcement earlier today, citing a need for a fresh direction as the primary reason for the decision.
Le Bris joined Sunderland in the summer with high hopes, but the team has struggled to find form, sitting near the bottom of the Championship table. Despite a promising pre-season, the club has managed only a handful of wins in their opening matches, leading to growing frustration among fans and stakeholders.
In a statement, Louis-Dreyfus expressed gratitude to Le Bris for his efforts but emphasized that the club’s ambition requires immediate action. “We have a rich history and a passionate fanbase that deserves better results on the pitch,” he said. “It’s important for us to act decisively to ensure we are competitive and moving in the right direction.”
Assistant coach and former player is expected to take over on an interim basis while the club searches for a permanent replacement. The club has begun the process of identifying candidates who can bring fresh ideas and revitalized energy to the squad.
Fans are hopeful that this change will lead to improved performances and better results as Sunderland aims to climb the league table and push for promotion to the Premier League.
Further updates will follow as the club navigates this transition and looks for a new head coach.
