Lee Johnson new head coach

The former Bristol City manager has signed an initial two-and-a-half-year deal at the Stadium of Light and will take charge of his first game today when the Lads host Wigan Athletic in Sky Bet League One.

Johnson’s appointment marks a swift return to management for the 39-year-old, who was the longest serving manager in the EFL Championship when his time at Ashton Gate came to an end in July.

His stats are almost the same as Parkinson's... Dear me

What will Lee Johnson do that Phil Parkinson couldn't?
What will he do better that Jack Ross?

Ridiculous how he took control of today's game.
Are the higher ups in Sunderland football minded even?
