Dwight Yorke interested in Sunderland job

Former Sunderland striker Dwight Yorke admits that he would be open to replacing Dick Advocaat at the Stadium of Light this summer, should the Dutchman depart.

Dwight Yorke has admitted that he would love to one day become Sunderland manager in order to complete some "unfinished business" at the club.

The 43-year-old, who is due to finish his coaching qualifications later this year, spent three seasons at the Stadium of Light as a player.

Current Black Cats boss Dick Advocaat will make a decision over his future when the Premier League season comes to an end this weekend, and Yorke insists that he would jump at the opportunity to replace the Dutchman should he move on.

"I feel that I'm in a good place now that it is something that would be very appealing to me if and when that job does come about maybe it is something that I would really consider looking into," he told Kicca. "Certainly I've made no secret that I'm doing my coaching badges at this point in time.

"I see myself as a young man still involved in the game, still associate myself working in the media. I take football very seriously and I've learnt a lot over the years being a professional player for a number of years, been part of a backroom staff, learning my coaching badges and I feel that one day given the chance the opportunity may come along at Sunderland it would be a team of great interest to me because I feel I've got unfinished business there.

"I see myself as an aspiring, new, young manager coming through the ranks once I've finished my qualifications this year I will certainly be looking at it with one eye. At the moment we know Dick Advocaat is the manager there and we wish him well. Again they are a club that I have a great deal of admiration for."

Sunderland retained their top-flight status for another season by holding Arsenal to a goalless draw on Wednesday night.
