Sunderland boss Dick Advocaat shows Santiago Vergini the exit door
SANTIAGO VERGINI, who signed a new Sunderland contract on July 1, has been that he is not wanted by manager Dick Advocaat.
Santiago Vergini is unwanted by Dick Advocaat
Argentinian defender Vergini was given a two-year deal last week because his appearances while on loan last season triggered a clause in his agreement.
But head coach Dick Advocaat had already decided that he cannot find a place for Vergini, 26, in his squad.
Advocaat said: “It’s a new season and I have to be straight and honest with people. I don’t want to go on with him, with all respect. I’m sorry for Santi, but he has to go and find another club.”
