Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes that Sunderland have made the wrong call in opting to sack Steve Bruce.
The former Manchester United captain paid the price earlier this week for failing to hit the heights expected at the Stadium of Light given the money he had lavished in the transfer market.
Sunderland are expected to bring in Martin O’Neill as Bruce’s successor, but according to Wenger there should not be a vacancy at all.
“I think it is a mistake because the one question at Sunderland is not Steve Bruce”, Wenger told Arsenal’s official site.
“He has competence, the desire to win and he is the last person I would question on that. Unfortunately he went on a bad run and paid the price. I’m pretty sure that he should not have done.
“Change does not always sort out problems. History shows that it is not successful.
“It is statistically proven that a change of manager is not always successful.”
