Tony Mowbray is losing no sleep over his contract at Sunderland as he approaches the final 12 months of his deal. Mowbray joined the Black Cats at the end of August and signed a deal that runs to the end of next season, but an unsubstantiated report this week claimed that the club was considering appointing a new head coach this summer, and linking 34-year-old Italian Francesco Farioli with the role.
But there is no reason for Sunderland to make a change, with Mowbray far exceeding expectations this season as he has led a newly-promoted club with a very young side to within touching distance of the Championship play-offs with two games remaining, and that, along with the brand of attacking football his team plays, has made him a popular figure with supporters. There have been no discussions as yet regarding extending Mowbray's contract but he is relaxed about that.
"Genuinely, it doesn't even cross my mind to be honest," said Mowbray. "I signed a contract with the football club [in August], I knew how long I'd signed for.
