BREAKING NEWS;Sunderland Afc confirm Pedro Ribeiro as the club’s new assistant head coach.
Sunderland have announced the appointment of Pedro Ribeiro as the club’s new assistant head coach.
The Black Cats have been on the hunt for a candidate to work alongside head coach Regis Le Bris since the Frenchman’s arrival on Wearside earlier this year, and have finally settled on the Portuguese 38-year-old, who boasts almost two decades of experience in the dugout.
Sporting director 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.”
Ribeiro’s most recent post was with Leixoes, where he lasted half a season before departing the club in January of this year. He has been unattached ever since.
