Ex-chairman Stewart Donald exits Sunderland after selling his remaining stake

Kyril Louis-Dreyfus and Juan Sartori have bought the remainder of Stewart Donald's Sunderland shares - meaning Donald is no longer involved with the club. Majority shareholder and chairman Louis-Dreyfus has increased his stake from 58 percent to 64 percent, with Sartori's stake increasing from 33 percent to 36 percent.

Donald's sale ends his five-year association with the club, which began when he and Charlie Methven bought the club from then-owner Ellis Short in May 2018. A statement from Sunderland said: "Sunderland AFC today announces that Kyril Louis-Dreyfus has increased his shareholding in the club.

"Mr Louis-Dreyfus has increased his stake to 64 percent, with Juan Sartori increasing his stake to 36 percent. The shares have been acquired through the purchase of shares previously held by Stewart Donald, who has now exited the club's shareholder group entirely.
