Gus Poyet to spurs

[Chubbs]

The 39-year-old former Spurs midfielder will work with Marcos Alvarez, under the leadership of new head coach Juande Ramos.

Ramos will make his first public appearance, since taking over from the sacked Martin Jol, at a Tuesday press conference.

Poyet has left Elland Road with the club's best wishes after Leeds agreed an undisclosed compensation package with Tottenham.

Leeds granted the London club permission to speak to their assistant manager on Sunday morning following an official approach for the Uruguayan.

A Leeds statement read: "The club would like to thank Gus for his efforts over the past 12 months and wishes him every success in his new role.

"He leaves with the best wishes of everyone connected with the club."

Poyet arrived at Leeds in October 2006 as number two to former Chelsea team-mate Dennis Wise.

The pair had forged a managerial partnership the previous summer at Swindon where they had steered the Robins to the top of League Two.

Former Chelsea and Tottenham midfielder Poyet, who retired as a player after three years at White Hart Lane in 2004, has been an integral part of Leeds' unbeaten start to the season as the Yorkshire club look to challenge for promotion despite being hit by a 15-point deduction for financial irregularities.

Word has it that Dennis works the fitness side and Gus works the tactics/set pieces.

Lets see exactly how much of an influence he is.

Oh and Bates..........................

I'm sure Wise and Poyet had never even spoken to Bates before the weekend they left. Honestly, it must have been quite a shock to get that phone call from Bates

This is wonderful news, considering Dennis persuaded Gus to come back to England to coach with him.

How does it feel Dennis/Ken?
