From the experience of Emery to European-bound Le Bris there are a handful of managers whose work stood outPromoted through the playoffs, Sunderland began the season as white-hot favourites to go straight back down but never once flirted with relegation and a win over Chelsea on the final day secured Europa League qualification. Their success was rooted in an inspired summer recruitment drive that prompted Le Bris to ruthlessly phase out most of his promotion-winning squad and replace them with a winning mix of raw young talent and seasoned leadership. Tactically flexible and a study in touchline equanimity, the 50-year-old Breton is an expert in tailoring his team’s approach to their opposition but tends to favour lightning-fast transitions before getting the ball wide in matches against teams he expects to beat. Victories at home and away over Newcastle mean his legendary status on Wearside is already cemented and the concern now for Sunderland fans is that executives at more high-profile clubs will have taken note of the stellar job he has done in his two seasons at the Stadium of Light.

The tantalising prospect of a Conference League final in Istanbul, or even a Europa League final in Frankfurt, would have seemed idiotic if the idea had been mooted to Sunderland fans last summer after the exultation of their dramatic Championship play-off final win. Now, though, every conversation with a Sunderland supporter begins with talk of qualifying for Europe.
Sunderland boss Regis le Bris' efforts to ensure all of his first-team players have a "very strong bond" is "no mean achievement", says BBC Radio Newcastle's Nick Barnes. If the Black Cats win their final fixture of the season and results elsewhere go in their favour, they could secure European football for next season, despite only winning promotion to the Premier League from the Championship last term.
