In a stunning and exciting development at Sunderland A.F.C., co-captain Granit Xhaka has officially announced a significant leadership change within the club’s hierarchy.
Addressing players, staff, and supporters earlier today, Xhaka confirmed that head coach Régis Le Bris has been promoted to the role of Team Chief, marking a new era for the Black Cats.
According to Xhaka, the decision was unanimously supported by the club’s leadership and senior squad members, citing Le Bris’ tactical intelligence, discipline, and transformative impact since taking charge. “This is a proud moment for the club,” Xhaka said. “The standards, vision, and unity the manager has brought to the squad deserve recognition at the highest level. We fully back him as he steps into this expanded leadership role.”
Le Bris, who has been credited with revitalizing Sunderland’s competitive edge, will now take on broader responsibilities beyond matchday tactics — including long-term sporting strategy, recruitment collaboration, and structural development within the club.
Club insiders describe the promotion as a strategic move aimed at strengthening stability and reinforcing Sunderland’s ambitions for sustained success.
Supporters have already taken to social media to celebrate the announcement, expressing optimism about continuity and progress under Le Bris’ leadership.
