Sbragia explains decision to quit

Ricky Sbragia has admitted the run-in to the season had been a "nightmare" after he announced he was quitting as Sunderland boss.

The Scot decided to step down after securing the Black Cats' top-flight future on the final day of the season despite a 3-2 defeat at home to Chelsea.
Sbragia revealed after the game he had fulfilled his objective of keeping Sunderland up, but admitted the final weeks of the season had been very difficult.
"When I took the job, the brief was to keep us in the Premier League," he said.
"Early doors it was fantastic, we played well and looked as if possibly we could have got a bit further. Unfortunately that didn't happen.
"The last six or seven weeks have been an absolute nightmare for me but it's all come good at the last.
Sbragia paid tribute to his backroom staff and insisted he was always confident his side would stay up.
"The players have been fantastic from day one, I've always said that," he added. "The staff have been excellent, the admin side really positive.
"We always believed we could stay up, even in the bad times, and obviously it's come true for me on the last day."
