There is a new favourite among the bookies for the managerial post at the Stadium of Light.
Ex-Leciester City and Leeds United defender and now Head Coach of Melbourne City, Patrick Kisnorbo has emerged as the 3/1 favourite to be given the Sunderland job according to Bet Victor. This moved him level with Grant McCann, who has recently been relieved of his duties at Hull City following a takeover, with Neil Warnock behind them at 4/1.
News broke in Australia yesterday, stating that an unnamed EFL club were prepared to take a risk on Kisnorbo by giving him his first job in English football after being impressed by the job he was doing in Melbourne. Ftbl.com reported :
