Gus Poyet confirmed as Brighton and Hove Albion's new manager
1:02pm Tuesday 10th November 2009
Gus Poyet is Albion's new manager.
The former Chelsea and Spurs midfielder accepted the job offer this morning and has agreed a contract until the end of next season.
Watch the full press conference above
Joining Poyet as the club's new assistant manager is Mauricio Taricco. The former Ipswich and Tottenham defender was a team-mate of Poyet's at White Hart Lane.
Chairman Tony Bloom said, "Gus is one of the best up and coming young coaches in this country and we are delighted to give him his first opportunity in management.
"His credentials are exceptional and all of the reports we have had on his coaching ability are outstanding.
"I am certain he will be a big success with the Albion, and I would like to take this opportunity to welcome both Gus and Mauricio to the club."
The 41-year-old Uruguayan enjoyed an illustrious playing career as an attacking midfielder, including spells in his home country with Grenoble and River Plate Montevideo. In 1990 he moved to Europe, signing for Spanish La Liga giants Real Zaragoza, before switching to Chelsea in 1997 on a Bosman free transfer.
He made well over 100 appearances at Stamford Bridge, before switching to Spurs in 2001 for a fee in region of £2m, and spent three years at White Hart Lane.
He ended his career with over 400 first-class appearances and an excellent goalscoring average of a goal in every three games.
Since retiring from playing, his coaching career has included spells at Swindon Town and Leeds United, as assistant to Dennis Wise, before returning to Tottenham as number two Juande Ramos.
He helped guide Spurs to Carling Cup success in 2008, before leaving the London club last October. In December he turned down the opportunity to link up with Ramos at Real Madrid, as he was keen to get his managerial break in England.
Taricco spent ten years playing in England, with the majority in the Premier League. He had five years at Ipswich between 1994 and 1999 and followed that with another five-year stint at Spurs. He had a short spell with West Ham before retiring to Sardinia to play amateur football.

It is widely believed that the success of the Wise/Poyet partnership was much more to do with the Poyet half.
I don't know anything about the ability of Mauricio Taricco as far as coaching/management goes but as a player he was hugely respected for his will to win at Ipswich, if he can foster that in our current squad we will do well.
Very happy with this appointment.

Gus Poyet was the real success in the Wise/Poyet team, as proved when he left the duo.
I echo the sentiments above concerning Peter Taylor. Would love to see him play a part in the new regime.
Other than that, well done Tony Bloom, and may we all benefit from this new Management team. Those of us truly connected with Brighton and Hove Albion that is.
Now bring on Southampton and Wycombe!

You attempted to insult my comments on a previous thread, something that did not really affect me as much as it affected others in my household reading your wording...........
I saw my first Brighton and Hove Albion match against Watford in 1958, so please do not come on here and pretend to support, even as a second team, a club that has been close to my heart for more years than you have probably existed. From your words, existing is the write terminology I feel.
You are hypocritical in the extreme and your comments are not welcomed, despite the fact that you yourself believe them to be hilarious. You are not funny, because you are abusing the thought processes of genuine fans. If you gain some sort of kick from doing this, then that is perverse and I suggest that you need help...............

Upside:
Fresh start and a new man with something to prove.
First -rate coaching credentials.
High profile.
Good player= current- player respect.
Downside:
A gamble.
Conclusion:
As it stands this season he just needs to sort out the defence and deliver mid-table obscurity. Hopefully the guy is capable of that. We can then take it from there in 2010/2011.

I think Coppell (had been interested) would have been a mistake.
Gus Poyet is a good fit for where we are and where he is. If he is a success and builds us up toward Falmer and beyond then I see no reason why he should ‘leggit’ as he is accused of doing in the past.
Also, why do people on here give idiot comments any kind of credence? Simply disregard them.

treacle was a defensive player, by the account of my mate who is a spurs fan, he was a good player, who speaks three languages, and is a top bloke.. as a coach i assume he will have a eufa b at least, i cant see poyet employing a non starter, still think hinsh should be moved to scouting, and a director of football brought in? but i welcome the changes, that we fially recognise coaching is what this is all about, does he have the experience to stop the drinking culture at the club? he now has three days to sort the defending out, lets hope he has not seen the goals let in recently! lol
Of course it doesn't because their ability as players is no way representative of their abilities as managers or coaches. Yet time and time again you spout out all of these mates who support a club or are scouts at another club in the belief it somehow makes your words more important and your opinion count more on mates. It screams of “ooohhh look who I know, I must know what I’m talking about cause my mates is a scout for Notts Forest….”

When I saw that Darren Ferguson had been fired rather harshly by Peterborough, I thought Brighton could make a late move for him as he clearly knows how to get the best out of a team at this level, but Poyet had already made his impression on the board by then. Brighton could have done a lot worse given some of the proposed candidates out there.

Amongst many happy memories are a stunning cup goal against Man Utd, but the main thing he brought was composure, class and an iron fist in a velvet glove. I.e he had silky skills put knew how to handle himself.

Harry Redknap looked a good appointment at Southampton but it didn't work out.
The risk is always there, most of you were thinking promotion was nailed on when Adams was appointed.
I believe Poyet will be successful here, it is crucial to his career that he is, he has not rushed to take on a managers role, he has done his apprenticeship (and some) as an assistant and knows he is ready and able to do the job and do it well.
mr punch, bantry says...
8:57am Wed 11 Nov 09
Let's face it, at the moment we are in deep trouble, RS kept us up but couldn't do it in his own right but this time Poyet has enough time to not only stave off the threat of relegation, but also to make moves up the table so we could possibly be in the shake up come the end of the season. Big name or not we aren't the most fashionable club in the country. I have been supporting Brighton for 32 years now and, apart from the FA Cup final and our little dally into the old division 1, there's not been a great deal of glory but I still support them and still feel that I should be able to have my voice heard.
Good luck to Gus Poyet, even as Pitar says, he does have a high forehead.

How ironic also, that we have a fan of a club (Leicester) who screwed their creditors to the tune of £30 Million taking the p155 out of The Albion who are where we are right now because we are not a low life club like Leicester. Still, it's nothing less than we'd expect from knuckle draggers with no morals.

It won't make a blind bit of difference, unless the Albion can sack all the existing players, and poach a team from players in the premiership.

I have a mate who supports Ipswich, he said Taricco was pony. Does it make my opinion any more valid? Of course it doesn't because their ability as players is no way representative of their abilities as managers or coaches. Yet time and time again you spout out all of these mates who support a club or are scouts at another club in the belief it somehow makes your words more important and your opinion count more on mates. It screams of “ooohhh look who I know, I must know what I’m talking about cause my mates is a scout for Notts Forest….” Oh and learn to spell UEFA while you are at it. You get it wrong every time.
