"My opportunity to manage Sunderland is there. I'm waiting. Nervously," Poyet is quoted as saying by the Daily Mirror.
"Since the start of the season, I've dedicated myself to watching the games of teams that might call me if things weren't going too well."
Former Middlesbrough chief Steve McClaren, ex-Stoke boss Tony Pulis, and Championship managers Paul Ince, Sean Dyche and Gianfranco Zola have also been linked with the Sunderland job.
