Sunderland AFC is pleased to welcome three new appointments to Régis Le Bris’ coaching staff ahead of the 2025-26 Premier League season.

A former Coach at AC Milan and more recently Assistant Manager at Al-Nassr, Luciano Vulcano joins the Club in the position of Assistant Head Coach, subject to international clearance.

Luciano is joined by Assistant Coach Isidre Ramón Madir, subject to international clearance, and Goalkeeping Coach Neil Cutler.

Isidre will lead on opposition analysis and has previously undertaken roles with Barcelona, Valencia, OGC Nice, and Paris Saint-Germain, in addition to the Spain and Iraq national teams.

Neil will lead the Club’s goalkeeping programme and take responsibility for developing the first-team’s shot-stoppers, after previously undertaking coaching roles at West Bromwich Albion, Aston Villa, and Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League.

Formerly Head of Goalkeeping, Alessandro Barcherini was appointed Interim Assistant Coach last season, and he now transitions into this new role on a permanent basis, focussing primarily on the team’s defensive unit and individual development plans.

The Club’s new coaching structure also includes Michael Proctor and Pedro Ribiero, who will continue to undertake Assistant Coach roles.
 
Analyst will fly under the radar but he won a treble at Barca doing the same job

serious staff appointments those three. Not ones you’d expect at a newly promoted team

Genuinely feels like we're only newly promoted on paper doesn't it.

With the signings we're targeting, the backroom staff we've now got in place, and the general infrastructure, we've jumped some serious levels since the playoff final.
 
I always thought Ribeiro was Assistant Head Coach but it seems he was "just" Assistant Coach and this Vulcano is what would consider a traditional Assistant Manager.

Le Bris and the coaching staff did a wonderful job last season considering the gaps they had.

https://www.safc.com/news/2024/october/08/pedro-ribeiro-appointed-assistant-head-coach/ sounds as if Ribeiro has *technically* being demoted. Impressive we can have someone like ribeiro with his experience as solely an assistant coach and not assistant head coach
