Struggling Black Cats turn to Poyet
Print Edition
English Premier League struggler Sunderland has entrusted Gus Poyet with the responsibility of securing its top-flight survival, announcing his appointment as manager yesterday on a two-year contract.
The 45-year-old Uruguayan, who previously worked at second-tier Brighton and Hove Albion, succeeds Paolo Di Canio, whose seven-month tenure left the northeast club at the foot of the table. Di Canio was sacked last month with Kevin Ball placed in caretaker charge and Poyet arrives to find the club six points adrift of safety with only one point from its first seven games. “I look forward to proving my ability to the fans Ñ I want them to believe, because we need to stick together,” Poyet told the Sunderland website. Poyet becomes Sunderland’s sixth permanent head coach in less than five years and he will also be the first Uruguayan to manage in the Premier League.
