Time for change for Gus Poyet
Poyet took over the club on December 24 last year, and during this time, his work has noticeably impacted the team.
As a player, Poyet became a Premier League legend, playing for Chelsea and Tottenham.
During the first nine years of his coaching career, he worked in England, gaining popularity in Brighton, where he led the team from League 1 to the Championship playoffs.
After Brighton, he coached Sunderland and then tried his luck in Greece, Spain, China, France, and Chile.

Diego, who is now 30, previously played for Charlton, West Ham, and other clubs, but ended his career in 2018 when his progress stalled.
He has become more muscular after finishing his football career, although he no longer has the fitness of a player.
Poyet Sr. commented: “He still thinks like a player, analyzes the game as if he were playing, and knows what needs to be done.”
“He is young, but on the other hand, he knows what I want, so it’s all simple. He will never say ‘I don’t know’.”
“He will always give me an answer, even if it contradicts my opinion, and that is useful for me and my staff. I want people around me who tell the truth.”
