Poyet takes over Albion
Gus Poyet was named Tuesday as the new manager of English lower league strugglers Brighton and Hove Albion.
Poyet has signed a deal with south coast side Brighton, batting to avoid relegation from League One, English football's third tier, until the end of next season.
He will be assisted by former Tottenham teammate Mauricio Tarrico.
Poyet replaces Russell Slade, who left the Seagulls 10 days ago.
"Gus is one of the best up and coming young coaches in this country," said Brighton chairman Tony Bloom. "We are delighted to give him his first opportunity in management.
"His credentials are exceptional and all of the reports we have had on his coaching ability are outstanding."
