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 Ribeiro, who will continue to undertake Assistant Coach roles.
