Former Sunderland captain Dwight Yorke would welcome the chance to launch his management career with the Black Cats.

For the moment, David Moyes is expected to be in charge of Sunderland in the Championship.

"If the opportunity comes to manage such a great club as Sunderland, having played at the football club, having seen what the fans are like, and the expectation, it is a very big club," he admitted to beIN Sports following the club's 2-0 defeat to Arsenal on Tuesday.

"There's no two ways about that, it's a terrific job. The one thing that Sunderland have got in their favour is that every time they've been down and relegated to the Championship they have managed to bounce back straight away.

"That is a positive in itself and that is what I would probably say to them if I was given that opportunity."
