Sunderland backs Regis Le Bris despite poor Premier League start
Summary

Sunderland has reaffirmed its support for manager Regis Le Bris, remaining in position despite the club being last in the Premier League with one win from nine matches. A recent 3-1 defeat at Coventry adds to a seven-game winless league streak. The board acknowledges fan frustrations but believes in Le Bris's ability to improve the situation. While the team's domestic form has struggled, they continue to perform well in the Europa League. Sunderland will face Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League on Thursday before a Premier League match against Chelsea on Sunday.
