Former Leeds United assistant manager, Gus Poyet has today been announced as one of new Tottenham boss Juande Ramos' first team coaches. The news comes after intense speculation as to the future of Poyet at Leeds after it was confirmed by Spurs that they had made an approach for the Uruguayan.Poyet was told to stay away from Leeds Uniteds 4-2 victory over Millwall on Saturday after it was feared that too much of the media attention would be on him rather than the game itself and current Leeds boss Dennis Wise didn't want his players being distracted.
The 39-year-old joins the club as one of two first-team coaches, alongside Marcos Alvarez, who worked with Ramos at former club Sevilla. Poyet played at White Hart Lane for three seasons between 2001 and 2004. A statement on the Leeds website on Monday said: "A compensation package has been agreed, the terms of which will remain confidential."
Leeds have been doing terrific under Wise and Poyet and I just hope for their sake that this doesn't affect the teams form. During his time at Spurs as a player, Poyet sustained many injuries but he still managed to score 23 goals in 98 games. I'm just wondering whats the reaction to the arrival of Poyet from all you Spurs fans?
