Profile

After being released by Tottenham in 2004, and effectively retiring from the game, Poyet returned to his native Uruguay to become chairman of the Organización Nacional de Fútbol Infantil - the national organisation for youth football in his homeland. Surprisingly though, he was persuaded to return to England by his former team-mate at Chelsea, Dennis Wise, becoming the Town's assistant manager in May 2006, and also registering to play - though only in case of emergencies.
