Kristjaan Speakman says Sunderland will resume the search for new additions to Regis Le Bris’ backroom staff, and says the club may yet make multiple additions.
“The main thing is that we’re looking for the right calibre of person to fit the profile,” Speakman told The Echo.
“That’s the most important thing, and Regis is really clear on what he feels is the right profile, which we’re 100 per cent aligned on. So it’s about finding the right person. We got really close to getting somebody several weeks ago, but that wasn’t able to conclude the way we would have liked it to have done. At that point, we were entering the last two or three weeks of the window, so it didn’t make sense to over-complicate an already really busy period with the window coming to a head and the season starting. So, we sort of hit the pause button on it really because we were really comfortable with where we’re at. That doesn’t mean that we’re not ambitious to keep improving, and we will pick that process back up and hopefully find one or maybe more people to come and join the team. There are other first-team members of staff that we are adding to that pool that’s not in the assistant bracket, but that we also think, from a psychological perspective, are going to help us with what we’re doing. It’s a constant process for us to keep trying to improve.”
