In a statement on the Sunderland website, the club announced that Juan Sartori had been added to the board of directors at the Stadium of Light, after being given approval of the EFL.

Sartori stated: ““Football is one of my passions and I always wanted to do something in the sport.

“We see a lot of potential and all the infrastructure is already here, but something has been missing, otherwise the club wouldn’t be in this situation.

“We think we have the skills, and especially the willingness, to really put the effort and dedication into making this right, and to taking the club back to where we believe it deserves to be.”

After sealing approval, the Black Cats have announced that Sartori will be in attendance for Sunderland’s opening day fixture against Charlton tomorrow, with many fans expecting big things for the future of their club.
