Former Manchester United star Wayne Rooney made an unexpected declaration, naming Sunderland’s manager, Regis Le Bris, as his Premier League Manager of the Season.
Rooney chose Le Bris ahead of high-profile candidates like Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta, citing Sunderland’s tactical evolution and Le Bris’s “incredible” achievement in getting the team promoted and leading them to their current 7th-place standing, particularly after their recent 1-0 victory over Newcastle United.
