Reports circulating on social media have sparked speculation that Sunderland AFC head coach Régis Le Bris may have submitted his resignation. However, there is currently reliable confirmation that Le Bris has resigned or handed a resignation letter to Sunderland.
The latest available reports point in the opposite direction. Le Bris recently reached the milestone of 100 games in charge of Sunderland and described his time at the club as a “fantastic journey,” while indicating that he sees the club’s progress as only the beginning.
The French coach has overseen a remarkable period for Sunderland, including promotion to the Premier League, a seventh-place finish in their first season back in the top flight and qualification for the Europa League. Sunderland also recently celebrated their return to European football with a 1–0 victory over AZ Alkmaar.
Following Sunderland’s 5–3 defeat against Manchester City on September 20, Le Bris remained the club’s head coach. The match was notable for Brian Brobbey’s hat-trick, although City ultimately secured all three points.
Therefore, while the resignation story may generate attention online, there is presently verified evidence that Régis Le Bris has submitted a resignation letter. Sunderland supporters should wait for an official statement from the club or a reputable news source before treating the claim as fact.
