Sunderland have chosen Swiss manager Raphael Wicky to be their next manager, reportedly on a two-year deal, according to Italian media outlet Calcio Mercato.
The Black Cats have been searching for a replacement for Michael Beale since he was dismissed in February, with names such as Will Still and Danny Rohl being on their shortlist.
The Wearsiders will now hope that the appointment of Wicky can power them towards the Premier League after a disappointing 16th place finish in the Championship in 2023/24.
