Kyril Louis-Dreyfus now told of two managers who ‘would be ideal’ for Sunderland

Two “perfect” individuals have been recommended to Sunderland to take Mike Dodds’ place this

summer.

After losing six straight games, Sunderland’s supporters are keen for the season to conclude quickly. It’s

been a long one.

Despite picking up wins over Leeds United and West Brom in his first stint in charge back in

December, Mike Dodds has looked way out of his depth this time round.

The 37-year-old has really struggled since coming in to temporarily replace Michael Beale, while he is

expected to remain in charge until the summer.

There has been little indication of who Sunderland will look to appoint at the end of the season, though

there has been plenty of murmurs about Will Still, who was heavily linked with the Wearside outfit

before Christmas.

The Black Cats will be working hard behind the scenes to find a manager who will drastically turn things

around at the Stadium of Light, while former striker Don Goodman has named two candidates that he

believes would be ‘ideal’ for the club.

Speaking via Chronicle Live, Goodman said: “For a high-calibre manager, Sunderland is not an attractive

job due to their policies and strategy.

“I’ve seen Steve Cooper mentioned, and he seems like a great fit because he comes from an academy, has

experience working with young players, and has twice led Swansea to the play-offs and lifted

Nottingham Forest from the bottom of the standings to the Premier League. He is well-versed in the

Championship and has a track record of developing young players.
