Chris Coleman claims it was "the wrong time" with "the wrong people in charge of the club" during his four month Sunderland tenure. The former Black Cats boss took over with the Wearsiders locked in a relegation battle in the Championship.
He was unable to keep the Black Cats up, despite small signs of hope, with Sunderland tumbling into the third tier of English football. While Coleman believes there's hope for red and white supporters with the right man in charge, he claims he cannot watch the Netflix documentary.
Speaking to the i, he said: "It was an honour to be asked to go to Sunderland. I’m a football person, I know there’s certain clubs – they have the history, supporters, the potential. When it came up, even though they were bottom of the league, I just thought ‘I’m not going to turn that down’. They’ve got such potential.
