Haha I know some will argue because he's more of a 'name'
He looked class at Lille but othrr than that he's been really poor and living off the rep of being a very promising youngster

Mostly as a squad player though, not saying he couldn't do a job for us, but is a different profile to the young lads with bags of potential we've been linked with. Bet he's on a wedge as well.
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.
Sounds like a serious set up now! can only be a good thing
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. some good clubs in there!
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

Some canny credentials on these coaches mind, loving my happy little Safc bubble at the minute
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.
Imagine if we stay up
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.

Régis Le Bris – Head Coach
Luciano Vulcano – Assistant Head Coach
Michael Proctor – Assistant Coach
Pedro Ribeiro – Assistant Coach
Alessandro Barcherini – Assistant Coach (Defensive Focus)
Isidre Ramón Madir – Assistant Coach (Opposition Analysis)
Neil Cutler – Goalkeeping Coach
He was, I think he might have been demoted, website has him down as assistant head coach
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
