Mad Gus Poyet is number 2

PoyetSpurs 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.
