Sunderland have confirmed the appointment of Gus Poyet as their new head coach.
The 45-year-old has agreed a two year contract with the Black Cats.
Poyet, who left Brighton in the summer, will be joined at the Stadium of Light by his backroom staff Mauricio Taricco and Charlie Oatway.
Sunderland chairman Ellis Short said: "We analysed a wide range of candidates and believe that Gus's track record, experience, commitment and passion make him the right man to take us forward.
"We welcome him to Sunderland."
