That's fantastic - daring and exciting. I hope Taricco can show a few of our defenders how to defend.

Gustavo Augusto "Gus" Poyet Domínguez (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈpoʝei]; born November 15, 1967 in Montevideo, Uruguay) is a former Uruguay international footballer. His teams included Real Zaragoza, Chelsea F.C. and Tottenham Hotspur. After his playing career he has moved into coaching. Although his name is spelt with the 't' at the end of Poyet, this is a silent letter and is common in many South American surnames.

[edit] Playing career
A powerful and prolific goalscoring midfielder, Poyet moved to Zaragoza in 1990. His team won the Copa del Rey in 1994 and the Cup Winners' Cup a year later, beating Arsenal in the final. He became Zaragoza's longest-serving foreign player. He scored an impressive 60 goals in 240 games for the club. Poyet joined Chelsea on a free transfer in June 1997.
Not long into his first season at Chelsea, he suffered cruciate ligament damage but recovered to play in the team's successful Cup Winners' Cup final against VfB Stuttgart. The following year he contributed 14 goals - making him the club's 2nd highest scorer - to help Chelsea finish 3rd in the Premiership, including a crucial headed goal in 1-0 win against Leeds United. He also scored the winner for Chelsea in the 1998 UEFA Super Cup against Real Madrid. In 1999-00, he scored 18 goals (which again made him Chelsea's 2nd highest scorer), with a scissors-kick volley against Sunderland, a long range strike against SS Lazio and both of Chelsea's goals in the FA Cup semi-final against Newcastle United among the most memorable, as the team won the FA Cup and reached the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.
With the arrival of new manager Claudio Ranieri in September 2000, Chelsea was a team in transition. With Ranieri seeking to reduce the average age of the squad, Poyet became surplus to requirements and requested a transfer. He joined Tottenham Hotspur in May 2001 for around £2.2m. In 145 appearances for Chelsea, Poyet scored 49 goals.
Poyet scored 14 goals in his debut season for Spurs and helped his team reach the League Cup final, but they lost 2-1 to Blackburn Rovers. His time at the club was blighted by injuries and he again sustained cruciate ligament damage in August 2002 but still managed 23 goals in 98 games.
He was also a Uruguay international and helped his country win the Copa América in 1995 (and in doing so was voted player of the tournament). He won 23 caps.
[edit] Coaching career
In July 2006, he became a player and assistant manager at Swindon Town alongside ex-Chelsea team mate, Dennis Wise.[2] Both Poyet and Wise were given permission to talk about forming the new Leeds United management team on 23 October 2006 and looked set to take the place of caretaker manager, John Carver, until Swindon Town withdrew permission due to disagreements over compensation.[3] On the 24th October 2006, Poyet was confirmed as assistant manager of Leeds Utd with Dennis Wise as the manager. He fast became something of a cult hero with his wit and charm with the fans behind the teams bench. Poyet was reportedly considering coming out of retirement and playing professionally again for Leeds, following his appearance in two of the club's friendly matches whilst on a mid-winter training camp in Cyprus (January 2007) during one of these games he scored a volley described by United's manager Dennis Wise as "stunning".[citation needed]
On 29 October 2007 Poyet rejoined his former club Tottenham Hotspur to work alongside new head coach Juande Ramos as a first team coach with Marcos Álvarez as a fitness coach.[4] Since he has returned to White Hart Lane, he has won the 2008 Carling Cup, beating Chelsea 2-1 after extra time after a penalty from Dimitar Berbatov in normal time and a header early into extra time from Jonathan Woodgate.[5]
On 25 October 2008, Poyet parted company with Tottenham Hotspur along with Manager Juande Ramos, first team coach Marcos Álvarez and sporting director Damien Comolli.[6] He is now a commentator for Star TV and ESPN Networks for La Liga matches, as well as Sky Sports, for matches from the Premier League.
On 10 November 2009, Poyet is interviewed by Brighton and Hove Albion [7] for the vacant managers position.

Gus Poyet is Brighton & Hove 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.
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.
Poyet, who holds his Uefa Pro Licence, 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's a very brave choice but also a very big gamble to give the job to someone who has no managerial experience. He wouldn't have been the person I would gone for but I will support him and let's hope he's successful.
SULLY COULDNT SHOOT

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!! I am so exited.
