Andrea Dossena’s tenure was for one year SunderlandBut he is not entirely happy with his time there.
The transfer of the Stadium of Light to Italy took place in 2013. This happened just after the former defender performed well at Napoli, helping them return to the Champions League and also win the Coppa Italia.
Dossena’s tenure at Sunderland ended with him playing only seven Premier League games, including three FA Cup appearances. At one point, he also played for the U21s team.
Description of toxic environment
Dosena said this transfer market In a detailed interview and looks at many aspects of his playing career.
Although he spoke enthusiastically about Liverpool, this was not the case for Sunderland. He gave details about the dressing room atmosphere and training at that time.
He said: “Oh my God. Some players would come to training smelling of last night’s alcohol. I didn’t have a good relationship with my coach. [Gus] Poet.”
Dossena also reveals how Paolo Di Canio moved and the shortcomings of the poet’s methods. Sunderland’s instability held them back.
“When I arrived, Di Canio was there. He sent me to Rome to get treatment for the injury, and when I came back to England I couldn’t find him. They had argued during a meeting and Poet had come in his place. I remember they never let us watch the match again to analyze it.
Sunderland symbolized Dossena’s downfall
By the end of his time at Napoli, Dossena had become a minor player. He was loaned to Palermo but things did not work out there either.
Sunderland’s spell defined Dossena’s fall from grace. As well as the club’s problems, the former Italy international was never seen as an important player.
That’s why his stay only lasted one season and after that he ended up at League One side Leyton Orient. Even there, he was not a regular.
