Poyet agrees AEK Athens deal

AEK Athens have announced former Sunderland and
Brighton and Hove Albion boss Gus Poyet will replace
Traianos Dellas.

Former Sunderland head coach Gus Poyet has sealed a return
to football after agreeing a deal to coach AEK Athens until the
end of the season.

Poyet was sacked by Sunderland in March after only securing
four wins in the opening seven months of last season, and has
been out of a job since.

His name had been linked with the vacant role at Aston Villa
following Tim Sherwood's departure, but the Greek Super
League outfit have moved quickly to secure his services.

The Uruguayan will sign a contract in the Greek capital on
Friday after agreeing to replace Traianos Dellas – who resigned
last week after two-and-a-half years in charge.

Poyet's first game at the helm will see AEK travel to city rivals
Panathinaikos on Sunday, where a win would take them above
their hosts and into second place.
