Woodgate’s replacement at Middlesbrough was another manager that has been linked with Sunderland recently, Neil Warnock.
Woodgate, 42, also played alongside new-signing Jermain Defoe whilst the pair were at Tottenham Hotspur.
Former Cats boss Roy Keane is also reportedly in the frame to take charge at the Stadium of Light whilst Grant McCann remains the bookies favourite for the job.
