Kyril Louis-Dreyfus has posted a heartfelt thankyou message on social media to Sunderland fans in the wake of the club's promotion to the Championship at Wembley. The Black Cats won the League One play-off final at the weekend, with Alex Neil's side defeating Wycombe Wanderers 2-0 at the national stadium to secure a return to the second tier following a four-year absence.
It was the climax of Louis-Dreyfus' first full season as chairman and largest shareholder on Wearside, following his arrival at the club in February last year. The Swiss was at Wembley with his family to see Sunderland win in front of more than 46,000 fans from the North East.
And he has now taken to his official Instagram account to post a picture of himself and twin brother Maurice with the League One play-off trophy, along with an end-of-season message to the club's supporters, players, and staff. Louis-Dreyfus' message read: "An unforgettable win at Wembley Stadium and our promotion back to the Championship - what a way to end our first season.
