Dwight Yorke has made no secret that he wishes to get back into club management.
The former Manchester United forward has some experience at the helm of a club, taking charge of Australian side Macarthur FC in 2022.
Yorke's stay as Macarthur manager was brief — just six months — but the 52-year-old's appetite for management wasn't dampened by the experience. He has stated numerous times about wanting to manage an English side, and this week expressed a desire to coach at one of his former clubs.
Yorke played at both Sunderland and Birmingham City after leaving Old Trafford, and both clubs have undergone recent coaching changes. While both have filled their coaching vacancies for the meantime, Yorke threw his proverbial hat into the ring for a future appointment at either side.
"I would just like the opportunity to manage Sunderland," Yorke told Gambling Zone.
"I’ve played for these clubs and it would be nice to go back to Sunderland or Birmingham but it doesn’t mean that I’d rule out managing another club in the EFL.
"I have to be open-minded to the challenge I’d have to take on."
