Sherwood was sacked from the club last October following a poor start to the Premier League season.

Now a year on, the club are searching for their third boss since his departure after the failed reigns of Di Matteo and Remi Garde.

The former Spurs coach worked under former chairman Randy Lerner. But while he doesn't know new owner Dr Tony Xia, Sherwood would be keen to discuss the role with the new chairman.

Sherwood said: "I don't know these owners. I was there under a different regime.

"The guy I was with (Randy Lerner) wanted out so it was a really difficult situation for me.

"When you go into a club where someone where someone wants to really pick it up and take it forward then it's a great opportunity for any young manager.

"I'd be no different to anyone else (in being interested)."
