𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦: Excitement Hits the Stadium of Light as Sunderland AFC Board Sends Powerful Message — Régis Le Bris Names Granit Xhaka in Major Announcement

Excitement has erupted at the Stadium of Light after Sunderland AFC’s board, led by owner Kyril Louis-Dreyfus, delivered a strong and inspiring message to head coach Régis Le Bris, the players, fans, and the wider Sunderland community.

In a statement released earlier today, Louis-Dreyfus reaffirmed the club’s long-term ambition, commitment to growth, and determination to return Sunderland to the top tier of English football.

“Sunderland is built on passion, resilience, and unity. We are fully committed to supporting our manager, our players, and our supporters as we continue building a competitive and ambitious football club,” the owner stated.

The message alone was enough to energize the fanbase — but what followed sent shockwaves through Wearside.

Shortly after the board’s statement, head coach Régis Le Bris stepped forward with a headline-making announcement: experienced midfielder Granit Xhaka has been named the club’s new team captain.

The decision marks a significant moment for Sunderland, signaling leadership, experience, and a winning mentality at the heart of the squad.

“Granit brings leadership, discipline, and elite-level experience,” Le Bris said. “He understands responsibility, he drives standards, and he will be a key figure in our dressing room. Naming him captain reflects our ambition.”

Xhaka, known for his commanding presence and vocal leadership on the pitch, expressed pride in accepting the role.

“It’s an honor to captain a club with such history and passionate supporters. I’m here to give everything and help drive this team forward.”

Fans inside the Stadium of Light and across social media have reacted with excitement, viewing the appointment as a bold statement of intent from both ownership and management.

With strong backing from Kyril Louis-Dreyfus, a clear vision from Régis Le Bris, and Granit Xhaka now leading the squad, optimism is rising on Wearside
