Mannoe Extends Stay With Sunderland

Vito Mannone has signed a new contract with Sunderland that will keep him at the Stadium of Light until June 2018.

The goalkeeper’s previous deal was due to expire at the end of the upcoming campaign, but he has now agreed a one-year extension.

Mannone started his professional career at Arsenal and also enjoyed loan spells with Barnsley and Hull City before joining Sunderland in July 2013.

 

The 28-year-old has since made 69 appearances in all competitions for the club, leading his team to the final of the League Cup in 2014 with two penalty saves in a semi-final shootout against Manchester United.

 

Mannone is the third player to sign a new contract with Sunderland in recent weeks, with Jermain Defoe and Patrick van Aanholt previously inking new deals.

Confirmed : Norwich And Newcastle Are Relegated From The EPL

Sunderland’s victory against Everton means Norwich and Newcastle are relegated from the Barclays Premier League.

 

They join Aston Villa in the next season championship, which means that Sunderland have secure a 10th successive season in the premier league

 

Sam Allardyce, the manager of Sunderland, has never coached a team that was relegated. That impressive feat continued as Sunderland beat Everton on Wednesday 3-0 to avoid relegation, as Norwich, Newcastle and Aston Villa will play in the Championship (England’s second division) next season.

 

Entering the day in 17th place, one point above Newcastle with a match in hand, Sunderland scored two goals before half time to cement its survival. Norwich was also in action and needed a win to boost its chances, but Sunderland’s victory rendered Norwich’s 4-2 win over Watford useless.

So next year, it will be Newcastle, Norwich and Aston Villa going down, with Burnley, Middlebrough and the winner of a playoff between Brighton, Hull City, Derby County and Sheffield Wednesday joining them.
