Former Sunderland forward Dwight Yorke sets his sights on 'terrific job' of managing the relegated club

David Moyes may be planning on remaining at the Stadium of Light next season but one former Sunderland player also has his eyes on the job.

Moyes has come under fire after a terrible debut season after which the Black Cats will finish bottom of the Premier League, meaning they will drop to the Championship for the first time in ten years.

The former Everton boss has a huge rebuilding job on his hands but ex-Sunderland striker Dwight Yorke says it is a task he would love to sink his teeth into.
