Sunderland handed Will Still boost
Who will be the next Sunderland manager has been a topic that has been on every fan’s mind throughout the majority of 2024.
The Black Cats have been without a permanent boss in the dugout since February when Michael Beale was sacked. This resulted in Mike Dodds taking over until the end of the season, however, form has not improved at the Stadium of Light.
One of the most consistent names linked to the job is Will Still. The Englishman has been the manager of the French side since 2022 and is one of the favourites to take over.
Now the club has reportedly received a boost in their pursuit of the manager with Le10sport stating that the compensation fee for Still stands at €5million.
