Ex-Manchester United star Dwight Yorke has admitted that he is keeping an eye on the Sunderland manager's job.
The Black Cats, under the guidance of Dutch Dick Advocaat, survived relegation from the Premier League on Wednesday but York sees himself playing a role with the Wearside club one day down the track.
He told Kicca: "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 rations.
"Certainly I've made no secret that I'm doing my coaching badges at this point in time.
"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."
Yorke made 62 league appearances for Sunderland, scoring six times between 2006 and 2009.
