*Spurs pick Poyet to assist Ramos*
Spurs have appointed their former player Gus Poyet as first-team
coach under new boss Juande Ramos.
Poyet arrives from League One side Leeds United, where he was
assistant to Dennis Wise, after a compensation package was agreed
over the weekend.
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."
Ramos was confirmed as new Spurs head coach on Saturday, replacing
Martin Jol who was sacked on Thursday.
The former Uruguay international also enjoyed a successful playing
spell at Chelsea and Real Zaragoza and was an assistant manager to
Wise at Swindon Town before moving to Leeds.
Leeds acting assistant manager Alan Thompson, who deputised for
Poyet after it was agreed he would stay away from Saturday's match
against Millwall, said: "Leeds United is a big club and you have to
get on with it.
"Gus has got great experience, he's a great coach, so he will be
missed, but I think he is replaceable and things move on."
An official 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."
