## Summary

Sunderland’s return to European football has coincided with a poor Premier League start, raising questions about whether manager Regis Le Bris can turn the season around. The club have only one win in nine league games and sit in the bottom three, but his job is not in immediate danger.

Last season, Le Bris led Sunderland to promotion and a seventh-place finish, earning their first European campaign in 53 years. This season, they are two points from safety, with two of their seven league goals scored from penalties; they also reached the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. Former Sunderland player Nedum Onuoha and French football expert Julien Laurens have voiced doubts about Le Bris’s long-term prospects, while the club face Dinamo Zagreb before hosting Chelsea.
