Sunderland Shortlist Former Bundesliga Boss But Must Match Ambitions

Former Bundesliga boss Bo Svensson is firmly on Sunderland’s radar as the Black Cats look for their next manager, according to journalist Alan Nixon.

Sunderland sacked Tony Mowbray mid-way through last season despite the Black Cats being well placed and then made a disastrous appointment in Michael Beale.

Beale lasted just 12 games at Sunderland before also being axed and the club finished the season with caretaker Mike Dodds as they slid a long way off playoff contention.
