Interim Sunderland boss Michael Dodds says he is relishing the prospect of leading the team against Leeds United at Elland Road on Tuesday evening.
Dodds has taken caretaker charge of the Black Cats for the second time this season after Mick Beale was sacked just 13 games into his ill-fated stay at the Stadium of Light. The Sunderland coach admits he will savour the opportunity to manage at Elland Road tomorrow night and says, although his team currently sit mid-table with no realistic prospect of relegation or promotion, he has 'everything to lose'. “From my perspective as a young coach, I have everything to lose.
Jobe Bellingham's 78th-minute winner clinched a 1-0 win for the Black Cats at a time when Leeds' promotion hopes appeared consigned to the play-offs. After 13 wins in 16 league games since the turn of the year and just one loss, suffered at the weekend versus Coventry City, Leeds are back in with a good chance of automatic promotion and will be hoping that by 10 o'clock on Tuesday night, they are back to winning ways. “I do think Leeds are one of, if not the best team in the league.
