Former Spurs and Chelsea star Gus Poyet offered chance to take charge at Real Zaragoza

Gus Poyet is wanted by former club Real Zaragoza, a month after taking charge at Brighton.

Zaragoza, who sacked manager Marcelino at the weekend, see the Uruguayan as the man to revive their fortunes in the Spanish League.

Poyet made more than 250 appearances for Zaragoza in a seven-year spell in the Nineties before moving to England and playing for Chelsea and Spurs.

Better WEATHER down in Zaragoza maybe, but at least the Albion aren't €75m (£68m) in debt!

Victor Munoz To Take Over Real Zaragoza Hot-Seat - Report

Former Barcelona player, Victor Munoz is all set for his second stint in charge of Zaragoza...

Dec 16, 2009 6:32:30 PM

Former Spanish international Victor Munoz is all set to become the new coach of Real Zaragoza, according to Sport.es.

Zaragoza have been looking for a replacement since the dismissal of Marcelinho less than one week ago and the former Barcelona man is said to be all but guaranteed to become Blanquillos’ new chief.

It has been a busy week for club president Eduardo Bandres, who has reportedly already been turned down by Juande Ramos, Bernd Schuster and Michael Laudrup.

Reports suggest Munoz has already agreed to take the job with the length and terms of the contract being the only factors holding up the deal.

If confirmed, this will be Munoz’s second stint with Zaragoza, having guided the club to Copa Del Ray success in 2004 before departing for Greece with Panthanaikos.

Zaragoza currently sit third from bottom in La Liga, 14 games into their return to Spain’s top flight, and will be hoping that a change at the top will galvanise the squad.

Had to laugh at this... about the state Zaragoza are in - "His legacy is the sad title of the worst defence, a place in the relegation zone, just three wins in 14."

Ring any bells!

It's in the Sun and the Yorkshire Post too.

I hope the contract's water-tight....

goodbye mr chips

poyet will been gone by january

This is not his route in to the premiership thou is it. He said he had dreams of being in the premiership so the only way to get noticed here, is to start winning games.

 

[Icy Gull]

He's not even begun to prove himself yet and if he's even thinking about walking away or getting his agent to talk to other clubs then maybe we'd be best shot of him. Hope to hear a strenuous denial from him later today

That's my thinking on it too. Unfortunately because its Poyet this will happen, its rather unsettling. We need some bloody stability, and Poyet needs to prove himself.

 

[DIFFBROOK]

Personally, I think this is paper talk and an easy link to make. I think Poyet is quite settled in England. He has made his life here for quite sometime. His family must be fairly settled as well and he is also taking his UEFA pro licence here. If he hated the waether he would have been off somewhere a long time ago.

I dont think we need to worry about this.

I dont think he will make a comment either.

Hadn't seen this interview before (from 21st November). Looks like the Chairman has sounded Gus out during the interview about who could tempt him away, and at the end it also says "One thing is for sure, this South American is in no hurry to leave the country".

This will never happen so there is no point wasting valuable keyboard time on it. Saying that The exact same scenario happened to me in football manager.

Nice steady secure job ...

He did say in an interview reported from Spain that one day in the future he would like to go back to Zaragosa but that it was not in the near future.

Clarification from the man himself.

No Real deal for Poyet From The Argus)

 

[Pavilionaire]

Poyet is not a man that hangs around anywhere very long - a few months at Swindon, a year at Leeds, a year at Spurs, a year out.

And as for that Argus interview, if you take it literally then it contains very little to reassure fans that he'll stay and quite a bit that could be taken as a sign he's leaving his options open.
