12 Candidates Who Could Be Sunderland's Next Manager

12. Dwight Yorke

However unlikely (and terrifying) it may seem, Dwight Yorke is the only man to come out and publicly declare that he wants the Sunderland job. The 43-year-old enjoyed three seasons as a bit-part player on Wearside before hanging up his boots, but now he wants to return. He told Kicca: €œI take football very seriously and I€™ve learnt a lot over the years being a professional player for a number of years, a part of a backroom staff, and learning my coaching badges. I feel that one day 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." His inexperience could be too much of a gamble for now, regardless of his good intentions.
