Chris Coleman has already delivered his first victory as Sunderland boss.

Darron Gibson has suggested to Sunderland’s official website that he has been very impressed by Chris Coleman’s first few training sessions at the club.

Gibson has featured in both of Coleman’s matches in charge of Sunderland so far.

And the central midfielder has suggested that he believes he will thrive under Sunderland’s new manager.

Gibson said: “Its gone well since he’s come in. Training has been different and I think the way we’re going to play is a lot different. He’s got off to a good start and it was probably our best performance of the season against Aston Villa, in terms of the way we played, and then we got the win at the weekend.

“I think the way he wants to play will suit me down to the ground, but I think it will suit everyone because it gives us all more confidence and we know what we should be doing in and out of possession.”

Coleman’s arrival at Sunderland seems to have sparked an immediately improvement in the team, with the Black Cats picking up just their second victory of the season in midweek.

Sunderland won 2-0 against Burton Albion, thanks to two late goals from James Vaughan and George Honeyman.

Sunderland are now off the bottom of the Championship table, and some optimism has come back to the Stadium of Light.

Coleman’s side are next in action at the weekend, when they take on Reading, and another victory could take the Black Cats out of the relegation zone, which would be a major boost for the Wearsiders.
