Mike Dodds leaves Sunderland, confirmed as Wycombe manager

Mike Dodds has been appointed as the new manager of Wycombe Wanderers, departing from his role at Sunderland where he served as assistant coach and interim manager. His move comes after the exit of Wycombe's previous manager, Matt Bloomfield, who took a position at Luton Town. Dodds, who joined Sunderland in 2021, expressed gratitude for his time at the club, highlighting the strong support from its fans and the club's promising future. Wycombe currently sits second in League One, aiming for promotion, and Dodds is expected to guide the team starting with their FA Cup match against Preston North End on February 8. Sunderland's sporting director, Kristjaan Speakman, acknowledged Dodds' contributions and supported his decision to pursue this opportunity. This marks Dodds' first permanent managerial role after a series of interim positions in his coaching career.
