Sunderland AFC is excited to introduce Anthony Hayes as the new First-Team Coach. Joining Interim Head Coach Mike Dodds, along with Michael Proctor and Alessandro Barcherini, Hayes will be part of the coaching staff until the end of the 2023-24 season.
Before his move to Sunderland, Hayes spent seven years at Charlton Athletic, starting in their academy in 2016 and eventually becoming the Under-21 Lead Coach by 2021. He later transitioned to the senior coaching staff and even took charge of the team for three games as a caretaker coach in late 2022.
In addition to his role with the First-Team, Graeme Murty will support Sunderland’s Under-21s and the First-Team throughout their training and matches until the end of the season.
Mike Dodds expressed his pleasure at Hayes’ appointment, noting their existing relationship and Hayes’ potential to contribute to the coaching team. Hayes’ previous experience as an Interim Head Coach will provide valuable support as they work together with the players in the upcoming weeks and months.
