Sunderland continues its amazing season - after nine rounds the team is fourth in the Premier League.

After a long start, head coach Regis Le Bres is losing confidence in his assessments. Instead of the points about the European Cups, this is the following: the main meta - score 40 points and guarantee your place in the Premier League.

At the start of the 2025/26 season, newcomers to the league were among the top contenders for the title. Opta analysts predicted that it would remain the same place. And after nine matches, the “black cats” already have 17 points - the highest result among the teams that rose from the Championship, followed by Gall City's 20 points in the 2008/09 season.

“The atmosphere in the club is incredible, it’s just amazing,” Le Bry said after the 2-1 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. - We have discovered this unity - not only in the team, but also in the club, and also from the fans. They deserve the stink. If the energy is like that, you can create a lot of positive things.. Alas, our meta is losing its immutability"

The Frenchman has already completed half of the road to the sacred 40 points. Who is the coach who brought the sensation to the season from Sunderland

If the club at the heart of 2024 voted about the recognition of Le Bris, most of the patients, to put it mildly, were not at the capture. After three months of searching for attacker Michael Beal, the Black Cats captured the Fahian side, who crashed out of the French League 1 with Lorient. After Sunderland returned to the top of all rocks and defeated Sheffield United in the play-offs, skepticism gave way to true pride.

“The fans are going to adore him,” says BBC Radio Newcastle commentator Nick Barnes. . This is bribing"

Le Bris, a doctor of sports physiology and biomechanics, is not a typical coach. His popularity in Sunderland has grown so much that already at the beginning of his work there were shocks when, during the hour of the walk, the fans of Rocker literally turned away from him.

After that, Le Brie, having completed his studies, now, if he goes for a walk to the famous Newcastle, he will do nothing, just to enjoy the quiet evening. If the element is right - the training base of the Academy of Light, it feels like home.

" May subtly sense humor and gradually become successful in oneself,” says Nick Barnes. — " It seems like everything in life revolves around robots. He himself is hot, and is happiest when sitting in front of a laptop and watching matches. “I specially learned English in order to come here and make a name for myself - and, it seems, it worked out for him.”.

Le Brie's football career was modest - he won a title with Liza 1 for Rennes, but also called upon the knowledge of coaching. 27 rocks began to work with the team, Vascal, quickly revoked all the necessary licenses and turned to Rennes - already as the mentor of the youth team.

There he won the French equivalent of the Youth Cup and the U-18 Championship, after which he moved to Loryan, and also benefited from the development of youth. Under his leadership, the juniors performed successfully up to 17 years, and then won the reserve team.

But behind this there was more, not just love to work with young graves - someone has a burning flame to gradually get to the bottom of and if you become a head coach.

“The regime will now be even more ambitious,” says Le Telegramme journalist Mathieu Pelicart. — Preparing to get over the edge, we have already traveled to Germany and Spain, led clubs, and experienced different football systems. And without saying anything, I want to know more about other leagues"

Your death has come in 2022, when you have recovered from Lor’yan. The cob was an enemy - it completely won the first ten matches and another place in the table. The last team finished tenth, but managed to beat Lyon, Lille and PSG with Messi and Mbappe at the warehouse.

And in another season, in Lor’an there was a tragedy - the team was knocked out of League 1 on the last day of the championship. 22 chernya 2024 rock Le Bris deprived the club for a profit.

Le Bris is a coach with the purest sense of the word Among those who respectfully followed his work, the former ruler of Sunderland is the Frenchman Cyril Louis-Dreyfus.

On Worldside, a young and talented talent was being molded, which was rejected by the proven mentor.

With a lack of work in England and only two years of head coaching available, Le Bres seemed the ideal candidate for this project..

“Regis Le Bry is the right coach,” explains French football expert Julien Laurens. — It’s worth mentioning the training field: sessions, transmission of powerful ideas, football itself. All this is not your element. He was one of the largest academy and youth coaches in France. I love working with young people the most and have a unique gift for explaining how to.

I have no doubts that I will show myself in Sunderland"

Sunderland is an ideal place for the new people of Brittany, Le Bris has always been inspired by their heritage and the strong cultural identity of their native land.. Also, if you decide to deprive France, the move to England before the end of the day will be a ruinous affair. Ale 49-Rich coach of Sweden has recognized the controversy with Worldside.

“Loriana worked at the club with a distinct sense of authenticity,” adds Loren. — Tom Sunderland became the ideal choice for him. This is a club with a deep sense of strength, character and intelligence. Le Bry is a proud Breton, and he knows very well how important the club is for people in Sunderland and the whole region."

Today Le Bry is the first French coach in the Premier League since Patrick Vieira, who took away Cristal Palace in 2023.

Only a few rookie coaches in the history of the Premier League have scored more points after nine rounds, but Le Bres. These are the legends - Kenny Dalglish, Brian Robson, Phil Brown and Frank Clark.

“I’m more than enemies,” Michael Carrick said about the French coach on Match of the Day.. — There are no positive moments. Against Chelsea, the applicant had only four drivers from last season - due to the serious renovation of the warehouse. And the way the team quickly adapted and scored so many points was simply incredible."

Fani in a dream in reality The cob of the season looks even more hostile, as soon as we realize how many new arrivals have reached the warehouse.

Sunderland spent 161 million on 15 new players - a record for the club, which has soared to the Premier League. Nine of the starters in the match against Chelsea lost their lives.

“We’ve had a bunch of great players who have joined the team very quickly, and it’s a credit to Le Bres,” said former England captain and Sunderland patient Steph Goughton on BBC Radio 5 Live.. “A big thank you to the coach for making the team organized, and to the Gravians for their faith and willingness to live by the dream of the Premier League. Be a Sunderland fan right away - what to live for. I hope, tse trivatime yakomoga dovshe"

17 points after nine rounds - a repeat of Sunderland's fastest start in the history of the Premier League - in the 1999/2000 season. The club’s great champion, Nedum Onuoha, believes that the team will be able to get involved in a higher division - as 25 years ago.

" It’s possible, it can still be the same,” Onuoha told 5 Live. — But in the middle of the club there is a different mood: the graves that they signed, believe in themselves. The stench can only be marveled at in the mountains, and for this season there are no shortage of hardships - anything is possible."
