We should wait for DY himself to speak on the topic.

Yorke ready for management rolewww.stabroeknews.com/2018/sports/07/27/yorke-ready-for-managing-role-in-premiership/KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC – Former Aston Villa and Manchester United player Dwight Yorke believes he is the right man to manage a team in the English Premier League (EPL). However, the Trinidadian has bemoaned the fact that while managers in the EPL were continually being recycled, new persons were not being given the opportunities to prove they were competent managers. “I think I made my intentions clear… I am now 46 years of age and I feel that it’s a good time to get into management. I feel like I have got my mojo back so to speak, where football is concerned. “I feel that it’s been a football merry-go-round when you look at the Premier League, [as] it’s the same managers who are getting the sack and coming round and all that and I feel that there is a young generation bursting to get in there, let alone black managers,” Yorke said. Yorke scored 123 goals in the EPL, which was a record for a non-European until Sergio Agüero broke it in 2017. He represented Trinidad and Tobago at the World Cup in Germany in 2006 and also served as assistant manager of the Trinidad and Tobago national team. Yorke said it was especially hard for black managers to get into the EPL. “Truth be told, there are 92 football league teams in England [and] there are only two, possibly three black managers. And when you think of the number of black players that have represented in the Premier League…I know for a fact that there are black players out there wanting to be managers, but it’s the lack of opportunity. So that in itself is another challenge,” he said. “I have made it clear that I want to be a manager, I want to be given an opportunity to manage. I have put in my CV (curriculum vitae) for the Aston Villa job, also for the Sunderland job, and got very little in return for doing that. So I know that there are challenges, but I feel that I am ready to do it and by doing that I need an opportunity.”

STAY UNITED Manchester United ambassadors ‘ordered not to attack Jose Mourinho’ after Dwight Yorke outburst at under-pressure bossPaid ambassadors including the likes of Andy Cole, Bryan Robson and Denis Irwin receive email urging them to 'be careful' when discussing Mourinho
By Sam Morgan 30th August 2018, 1:00 pmUpdated: 30th August 2018, 1:35 pm www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/7132645/manchester-united-ambassadors-ordered-not-to-attack-jose-mourinho/MANCHESTER UNITED ambassadors have been ordered not to attack Jose Mourinho after Dwight Yorke blasted the Old Trafford manager last season. The Daily Mail report that paid ambassadors including the likes of Andy Cole, Bryan Robson and Denis Irwin have been urged to "be careful" when discussing the under-fire Portuguese. Jose Mourinho is under serious pressure after two defeats in a rowREUTERS It is claimed the club "felt the need for the reminder" after ex-United striker Yorke savaged Mourinho in a radio interview last May. Yorke compared Mourinho's playing style to that of Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola in their title-winning season. He told a Dubai radio station that if Guardiola was managing United then he would have won the league. Man Utd ambassador Dwight Yorke hit out at Mourinho at the end of last seasonGETTY - CONTRIBUTOR Mourinho has overseen Man Utd's worst start to a season in 25 yearsEPA He said: "I think they would definitely win the league because they are on the front foot, playing attacking football. "Any manager who has got the riches of players they have playing on the front foot will win more games than they lose. It’s not rocket science. "Look at the other side and the blue half of Manchester. Don’t tell me those players are far superior than the players we have. "You look at Anthony Martial, (Marcus) Rashford, (Jesse) Lingard, you look at (Alexis) Sanchez, (Romelu) Lukaku. We have got a very, very strong attacking line-up. Jose Mourinho: a manager out of ideas and on his last legs? "The difference is they have a manager who thinks positive and wants to play attacking football. On the red side, we have a manager who wants to win 1-0 and play defensive. That is simply the difference." There was mystery over Mourinho's whereabouts yesterday. United players were seen driving to their training session but their under-pressure boss was missing from his usual ride. The Special One was not seen leaving the Lowry Hotel, his base in Manchester, either - despite photographers being in position ready for his exit. Mourinho's car left the luxury hotel and went to the Aon Training Complex without him in it. However, the boss was later seen leaving their HQ in the back of a chauffeur-driven car.

Dwight Yorke: Ex-Aston Villa striker applies for vacant manager role at Villa ParkDwight Yorke has applied for the vacant managerial position at Aston Villa. The former Villa and Manchester United striker, 46, has sent his CV to the Championship club following Steve Bruce's sacking on Wednesday. Yorke played for the Villans between 1989 and 1998, but his only coaching experience has been as assistant boss for his native Trinidad and Tobago. "It's a job I'm 100% interested in. I've made it clear I'd like to speak to the club," Yorke told Sky Sports. "I've sent in my CV and I'm trying to make contact with the CEO, so I'm doing everything from my side to try and make sure I'm given that opportunity to speak to the football club. "I've seen managers come and go over the past five years, I feel the club need something new going forward." In April 2017, Yorke criticised the lack of black bosses in football and claimed he could not get an interview for a manager's job. Who next for Villa after Bruce sacking? Villa need fans onside - caretaker boss MacDonald Bruce was sacked amid growing fan unrest which saw a supporter throw a cabbage at him before Tuesday's 3-3 draw with bottom side Preston. But Yorke, who said he had spoken to Sir Alex Ferguson and former Villa boss Tim Sherwood for advice, believes he can bring some positivity back to Villa Park. "I feel I am the person who played for the club, understands the club and understands what the fans are expecting, but most importantly I feel I can bring a winning mentality back," he added. "I think there is a lack of belief throughout the football club. Anyone who knows me as a person knows I'm very positive, I like to see attacking football, I want to see people playing with a smile on their face."

Dwight Yorke: Diversity a problem in coaching
By Matt Maher | Aston Villa | Published: Jun 10, 2020 Former Villa striker Dwight Yorke has hit out at the ‘injustice’ he believes black players face when they try to move into management. Dwight Yorke celebrates after scoring the third goal for Villa during the Leeds United v Aston Villa Coca Cola Cup Final at Wembley Stadium Yorke claims to have never been given an interview for any of the roles he has applied for despite holding all the necessary coaching badges and blasted the Rooney Rule, which dictates every club must interview at least one BAME candidate, as an ‘absolute joke’. England forward Raheem Sterling this week questioned the lack of black managers and coaches in the game and Yorke said: “This has been a problem for years. “I’ve lived the life of understanding of being a professional footballer, you work so hard and that is in your control. “But when the control is in the reverse situation, you understand why you can’t get jobs in football. It’s an injustice. “When a black person has gone for any type of job they’re not seen as adequate or qualified enough, even though they have the qualifications.”

Speaking on beIN SPORTS, Yorke revealed he “can’t even get an interview”, despite the endorsement of his old manager, the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson. “Sir Alex told me what I needed to do and I picked his brain.” Dwight Yorke After retiring in 2009 as the Premier League’s highest ever foreign goalscorer (a record now held by Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero), Yorke worked to complete his Level B coaching badge. With his sights set on beginning his managerial career at Aston Villa, the club for whom he made over two hundred appearances, Yorke claims he wasn’t even considered for the job despite Ferguson’s backing. “[Ferguson] gave me some experience, he told me what I needed to do and I picked his brain. At the same time, he picked the phone up and rang [Aston] Villa for me to give his recommendation.” Interview “He’s always said to me, if I need anything, any recommendation to break into management, he would vouch for me. Even to this day. With his help, I still can’t get an interview. I still can’t get an interview to this day. That is what we are facing today.” Despite the EFL introducing the Rooney Rule last year in an attempt to address the lack of representation in management, Yorke claims the policy has had little impact, and with only six managers from a black, Asian or minority ethnic background currently employed at the 91 clubs in the top four divisions, who can argue? Following Raheem Sterling’s Newsnight interview earlier this week, Yorke offered a similar message of defiance saying, “I’m going to fight this all the way. I’m still very hopeful.” 39

Dwight Yorke departs from Macarthur FC ahead of rumoured move to Sky Blues
Wanderers have biggest win of season | 00:48 Daanyal Saeed from News.com.au January 23rd, 2023 9:21 am www.foxsports.com.au/football/a-league/dwight-yorke-departs-from-macarthur-fc-ahead-of-rumoured-move-to-sky-blues/news-story/3a2ad50102b57b6de87ff89a894dd3f3Former treble-winning Manchester United star Dwight Yorke has parted ways with A-League Men’s outfit Macarthur FC after a scathing post-game address in which he described the Australia Cup winners as a “pub team”. The Sydney Morning Herald has reported that the dressing room spray, reminiscent of the infamous “hairdryer” treatments Yorke copped in his own playing days under Sir Alex Ferguson, was the catalyst for a “mutual” parting of ways after just seven months as head coach. The announcement comes less than a day after a 1-0 loss to Adelaide United on Friday, the Bulls’ sixth loss from 13 matches this season.

Start your free trial now > Sources who spoke to the Herald on the condition of anonymity, said the speech was delivered to the entire travelling squad, with CEO Sam Krslovic and chairman Gino Marra also present. Individual players were said to have been singled out, with Yorke reportedly referencing what he sees as a “substandard culture” across multiple levels of the game in Australia. Chairman Marra was said to have intervened at one point during the spray, as Yorke set his sights on the levels of professionalism within the playing group, as well as in Australian football broadly. The club released a statement on Saturday night confirming a contract termination had been reached to allow Yorke to “pursue other opportunities”.

Picture: Supplied Source: Supplied Approached by media on Sunday, Marra declined to comment. “We won’t be commenting on the circumstances of the mutual agreement reached between the club and Dwight Yorke on Saturday,” he said. “I would like to thank Dwight Yorke and his assistant Russell Latapy for their contribution towards our club, and in particularly, Dwight leading Macarthur to our first silverware in our 2022 Australia Cup triumph.” Yorke meanwhile released a statement thanking club hierarchy while declaring: “I leave the football club with a great team that will continue to challenge for more silverware.” Yorke’s departure has sparked rampant speculation across the league that the Trinidadian will join league heavyweights Sydney FC, where manager Steve Corica is under significant scrutiny, languishing in tenth on the ladder.

Axed Macarthur FC coach Dwight Yorke says the local game is in dire straits - with the EPL legend slamming organisers for doing football differently to everywhere else in the world: 'Australia has just got it totally wrong' Yorke has been scathing of the A-League He highlights the need for a winter season EPL legend says current model is flawedwww.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11809619/Axed-Macarthur-FC-coach-Dwight-Yorke-says-League-Australian-football-dire-straits.htmlBy ANDREW PRENTICE FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA PUBLISHED: 18:36 EST, 1 March 2023 | UPDATED: 18:43 EST, 1 March 2023 e-mail 1 View comments e-mail Top +99Home 1 View comments Former Macarthur FC manager Dwight Yorke has slammed the A-League, declaring the struggling competition faces a dire future. The 51-year-old, who left the Bulls in controversial circumstances in January after reportedly labelling his squad a 'pub team', stated 'Australian football has just got it totally wrong' in a number of key areas. Yorke pointed to staging fixtures across summer as opposed to winter, no promotion and relegation and a lack of marquee talent due to the owners from the 12 clubs 'agreeing' when it comes to a salary cap. 'There is so much talent in Australia, but it is being killed by the system,' he told News Corp.

Yorke was on the books of Sydney FC - as their marquee player - when the A-League started in 2005 - but the code on local shores didn't capitalise on the early interest.

'There's enough football supporters in the country but you've got to change it up. 'The [current] model needs to be changed because it's not working.' Earlier this week, Yorke lifted the lid on his brutal dressing room spray that led to him being sacked by Macarthur FC, with the former Premier League star revealing he is 'devastated' by what unfolded. Yorke also stated the A-League needs promotion and relegation, with the current model leaving the 12 clubs in a permanent comfort zone +3 View gallery Yorke also stated the A-League needs promotion and relegation, with the current model leaving the 12 clubs in a permanent comfort zone 'I don't want to have a go at the club or the fans.

'The mickey mouse reference was about the hierarchy in terms of how they [club] run the team. 'I've never once criticised the players. Even though I had a rant in the dressing room, I was just being honest because it's no secret it's being run like a pub team. The hierarchy just couldn't take the truth.'

"Overhyped" Rice would not be as highly-rated if still playing for Ireland - Dwight Yorke
Former Manchester United and Aston Villa forward Dwight Yorke has claimed that West Ham midfielder Declan Rice is only so highly regarded because he plays for England rather than Ireland and isn't in the same bracket as former teammates Roy Keane and Paul Scholes. rosy-c By Rosy Cobb 10 March 2023 00:12 www.vavel.com/en/football/2023/03/08/1139937-overhyped-rice-would-not-be-as-highly-rated-if-still-playing-for-ireland-dwight-yorke.html "Overhyped" Rice would not be as highly-rated if still playing for Ireland - Dwight Yorke Yorke in his Manchester United playing days | Creator: Shaun Botterill | Credit: Getty Images Dwight Yorke, the former Manchester United and Aston Villa forward has expressed his view that West Ham United's £100 million valued midfielder Declan Rice is "overhyped" and doesn't even bear comparison with his former teammates Roy Keane or Paul Scholes. £100 million man? Yorke, who scored 123 Premier League goals in 375 appearances during his career, believes that Rice isn't at the level to warrant the price tag put upon his shoulders, just doing "well enough" in his club performances. Saying that he would want "more" for that kind of money: "You pay £100m-plus for players who can split teams apart with their passing and I don't see that from Rice. I see a dogged midfielder who gets his foot stuck in but for that kind of money, you have to do more." With Rice's club side West Ham United struggling for form this season and finding themselves in a relegation fight at the bottom of the table, Yorke stated that he did not think that Rice has enough "influence" on games. Not in that "bracket" - And Yorke, who lined up alongside Keane and Scholes during his time at Manchester United, most famously during the 1999 treble-winning campaign, dismissed any idea that Rice is in the same league as the midfield duo who made over 865 Premier League appearances between them, saying: "Declan Rice isn't in Roy Keane's bracket. He's very good and I know that all the English fans big him up but he doesn't influence games much. He does good things but he's not a Scholesy. "He'll never be anywhere near as good as Roy Keane. He's a good player, who plays well for England and does well enough for West Ham." Talking about his former captain at Manchester United Keane, who is himself now a vocal pundit, Yorke hailed him as a "great" leader, who would be vocal on the pitch "taking a couple of prisoners down with him", something that Yorke says he doesn't see enough of anymore: "Great captains like Roy Keane or Bryan Robson, they would never give in and would keep b*llocking their teammates and showing their passion and desire." Referring to current Manchester United Bruno Fernandes, who cut a dramatic figure in his side's capitulation at Anfield in their 7-0 drubbing, Yorke criticised the "play-acting" which he feels has crept into the game "more and more nowadays". Yorke has been weighing up West Ham's Declan Rice | Creator: Marc Atkins | Credit: Getty Images Copyright: 2022 Getty ImagesYorke has been weighing up West Ham's Declan Rice | Creator: Marc Atkins | Credit: Getty Images Copyright: 2022 Getty Images Luck of the English - Yorke expressed his potentially controversial view that Rice has received the positive recognition he has from plaudits due to having switched his international allegiance from Ireland to England. Rice decided to do so in February 2019 having already played in the Irish youth set-up for around two years prior, whilst being hailed as a future national team captain. Commenting on the plaudits that 24-year-old Rice has won since he made his West Ham United debut in 2017, the former Trinidad and Tobago striker appeared underwhelmed, saying: "I get why the media are raving about him because he's English, but if he was foreign then he'd be deemed as just a good player." "If he didn't change his international allegiance to England, he'd be getting next to no recognition." Rice, who has been capped by England on 39 occasions and scored twice, appears to be a key member of Gareth Southgate's squad and started all seven games that England played in UEFA Euro 2020 and all five games at the Fifa World Cup 2022. It is anticipated that there will be a bidding war this summer for the right to Rice's signature, with the player believed to have turned down several contract extensions and seeking a new opportunity at club level.

Dwight Yorke lifts lid on sacking from Australian side Macarthur FCwritten by Conner Botterill 03/02/2023 thepeoplesperson.com/2023/03/02/dwight-yorke-lifts-lid-on-sacking-from-australian-side-macarthur-fc-260498/Dwight Yorke has lifted the lid on his sacking from Australian A-League side, Macarthur FC. The former Manchester United striker was given his marching orders from the club following a dressing room bust-up after a defeat to Adelaide United in January. As reported in The Daily Mail, Yorke wanted to set the record straight after his controversial dismissal. The former Premier League man admits to losing his cool but says he the sacking has left him ‘devastated’. Yorke’s rant after the loss include him using the terms ‘mickey mouse’ and ‘pub team’, but the 51-year-old insists he wasn’t directing the words toward the players, but to the way the club was being run. “I don’t deny saying the club was like a mickey mouse slash pub team but that was not about my players. That was about the hierarchy in terms of how they run the team,” he said. Yorke says the dressing room bust-up was just the culmination of a raft of incidents where he felt the club let him down. Yorke cites the sanction to transfer Anthony Carter, just hours before a game, with the player having travelled to the fixture as part of his squad, as prime example of the club’s lack of professionalism. “The incident (with Carter) was just one too many. How can you terminate someone’s contract three hours before the game without telling the manager? I felt there was just a lot of disrespect,” he said. Furthermore, Yorke says he and his assistant were never given the chance to say goodbye to the players and the pair were left in shock at the way the situation was handled, with the hierarchy never addressing Yorke directly. ‘The chairman (Marra) or the CEO (Sam Krslovic) never spoke to me about anything directly. And my assistant (Latapy), his contract was terminated on the plane the following day, then 30 minutes after that the email came through. There was a follow up e-mail stating that I was suspended for ten days. “It all unfolded in less than 24 hours and we never even got the chance to return to the training ground to say goodbye to the players,” he added. Macarthur have won just one game since parting ways with Yorke and lay three points off the bottom of the A-League ladder. DWIGHT YORKE
