Despite ending the regular season in the Championship on a five-game losing streak, Sunderland played well in the playoffs and after a lot of excitement, which included eliminating Coventry in the semis after extra time and beating Sheffield United after trailing at half time in the final, the Black Cats earned promotion to the Premier League for the first time since going down in 2017.
French manager Regis Le Bris performed a small miracle in his first season with Sunderland, but now he will have an even tougher task of trying to stay up in the top flight and to even stand a chance, he will need to bring in some reinforcements this summer.
