Former Sunderland boss now open to replacing Michael Beale, he’s available right now
Alex Neil is now open to returning to Sunderland as they chase a replacement for Michael Beale.
They say to ‘never go back’ but Neil seemingly fancies his chances.
ಌThe Scot was sacked by Stoke City back in December having struggled to find results.
▨A raft of signings came in over the summer but, much like many Stoke managers before him, Neil couldn’t quite make it work.
ඣThe Potters have gone through a number of managers who have impressed elsewhere but never quite made it work at Stoke.
𓂃Neil now fancies a return to management and claims that he is ‘open’ to returning to Sunderland.
༒Whether Sunderland feel a similar way remains to be seen but Neil may put his case forward in the coming months.
How did Alex Neil fare at Sunderland?
♍Neil took the Sunderland job in February 2022, replacing Lee Johnson in the Black Cats dugout.
🅰The move worked perfectly for Sunderland and for Neil, who had been out of work for just short of a year after leaving Preston North End.
ﷺNeil lost just three of his 24 games in charge of Sunderland, guiding them to promotion from League One via the play-offs.
🌜A shock decision came in August 2022, just weeks into Sunderland’s Championship return; Neil quit to become Stoke City boss.
♛Neil seemed to have something going at Sunderland and may feel that he can bring that kind of feeling back to Wearside.
Sunderland sacked Tony Mowbray in December and his replacement Michael Beale was axed last week.
ꦗMichael Dodds is back in as caretaker with Sunderland likely to wait until the summer to make an appointment.
🤡Neil could now enter the frame, but some Sunderland fans may still be a little unhappy with him leaving the club for Stoke just after securing promotion.
