BREAKING NEWS: “Sunderland Til’ I Die,” Kyril Louis-Dreyfus stating that bringing him back would have been ‘fun for the documentary!’

In the most recent episode of “Sunderland Til’ I Die,” Sunderland’s owners discuss Roy Keane’s unsuccessful attempt to rejoin the team, stating that it would have been “fun for the documentary” to have him back.

Kyril Louis-Dreyfus stated during ‘Sunderland Til’ I Die’ that the club had opted against bringing Keane back for a second spell

In 2022, Roy Keane came dangerously close to making a spectacular comeback to Sunderland management.

The former Manchester United defender had led the team to the Championship title in 2007. However, he left the team after a poor season that saw them drop to 18th in the Premier League.

Nevertheless, since parting ways with Lee Johnson, Sunderland has been searching for a new manager.

The Sky Sports analyst declined the opportunity to return to the football team for a second stint in December 2022, according to Mail Sport. He cited contractual difficulties as the reason for his decision.

In the end, the team decides that Alex Neil is the best person to lead them, and in 2022, the Scot leads Sunderland to promotion to the Championship.

The owners of Sunderland have now provided additional details regarding Keane’s nonhire. Both Juan Sartori and Kyril Louis-Dreyfus discussed why the 52-year-old never returned to his old club in the most recent season of Netflix’s documentary “Sunderland Til’ I Die,” even though Sartori said it would have been “fun” to see him return.

Louis-Dreyfus stated in the documentary, “The Roy Keane potential with Sunderland played out much more in the media than it really did in conversations that we had in the club.”

“I knew right away that there would be criticism once we made the change, but all I can do is try to make the best decisions I think are best for the football club.”

“I think Roy Keane would have been fun, definitely good for the Netflix series,” co-owner Juan Sartori continued, “but maybe we had a third season of disastrous finishing.”

It was also reported at the time that Keane was one of the chosen candidates to take over after interviewing for the open manager’s role at the club.

Keane had been heavily linked with a return to the club after leading them to the Championship title in 2007

In the end, the transfer—which the team’s supporters would have welcomed—never happened.

Subsequently, the legend of Manchester United has also discussed why the transfer failed, asserting that it wasn’t the ideal role for him at the time.

I’ve stated it already. “The agreement must be suitable for all parties involved,” he stated in 2022 at The Overlap Live in Manchester.

It didn’t come together last week. It was not intended to be.Everything needs to be in order. the ideal difficulty. the appropriate agreement. It must appeal to you.

“I haven’t had that chance in a few years.” Nothing has happened to me that makes me feel like I belong in that club.

‘Sunderland Til’ I Die’s third season, which debuted on Netflix this week, offers viewers a glimpse into the team’s journey in 2021–22 to the League One play-offs

It came after they had sacked Lee Johnson over their poor results with the club in search of a new manager to lead them to promotion
