Sunderland defender Marcos Angeleri has unleashed a scathing attack on Steve Bruce and has criticised the manager for failing to provide him with first team football.

After failing to demonstrate his value to the club Angeleri has featured for just nine minutes in the Premier League and the defender believes he has been unfairly targeted by Bruce.

“Steve Bruce is not a nice person at all – he’s a little unpleasant,”  Angeleri told the Sunderland Echo.

“I think he doesn’t like me because I’m not English. The boss doesn’t talk to me, he doesn’t even say hello to me when he sees me.”

The 27-year-old arrived at the Stadium of Light in the summer but has failed to earn a place in the first steam squad, but the defender has been called up to the Argentina squad for the forthcoming friendly’s.

Angeleri insists he is good enough to play in the Premier League and has accused Bruce of being too defensive in his approach.

The Argentine’s future at the club was already in doubt and following his attack on the manager it is likely that the defender will be moved on when the transfer window opens at the end of the season, with the player himself determined to find regular football.

“I have played just a few minutes in Sunderland since my arrival,” he said. “I want to play – that’s my job.

“And that’s why I’m not happy in Sunderland – I don’t understand why I’m not playing. The boss is too defensive.”
