From the source

Sunderland manager Regis le Bris is set to be given more time to turn things around despite his side's poor start to the Premier League season.

Le Bris is under pressure after Saturday's defeat at Coventry left the Black Cats bottom of the table with just one win from their first nine league matches.

However, club sources have told BBC Sport they believe the Frenchman can bring about an improvement in results. Sunderland face Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League at the Stadium of Light on Thursday, then host Chelsea in the league on Sunday before the international break begins.
