Sunderland interim boss Mike Dodds spoke to the media ahead of Sunderland’s Championship match against Sheffield Wednesday.

Sunderland are preparing for their final Championship match of the season against Sheffield Wednesday - and interim head coach Mike Dodds held his pre-match press conference today.

The Black Cats were beaten 1-0 by Watford last time out and will be looking to end the campaign on a high. Wednesday have climbed out of the relegation zone following back-to-back wins over Blackburn and West Brom, meaning Danny Rohl’s side only need a point on Wearside to secure their Championship status next season.

Here’s what was said at the Academy of Light as Dodds spoke to the media:

Dodds asked when we could see a new head coach

“You know as much as I do. My focus has obviously been on the team. I’m presuming I might get an update after Saturday. I’ll wait for people above me to update me.”

That brings us to the end of the broadcast section of the press conference - but Dodds has also spoken to the written press ahead of Saturday’s match.

You can find more from the Black Cats boss and build-up to Saturday’s match over on the SAFC section of the Echo website.
