Gus Poyet arrives in Athens ahead of AEK Athens appointment

By , Features Editor
Former Sunderland manager Gus Poyet lands in Greece as he nears being named the new head coach of AEK Athens.

Gus Poyet has landed in Greece to finalise the deal to take charge of AEK Athens.

The Uruguayan has been out of work ever since he parted company with Premier League outfit Sunderland in March.

He had been linked with the Aston Villa vacancy following the sacking of Tim Sherwood at the weekend, but his presence in the Greek capital would suggest that he is close to agreeing terms with AEK.


As well as the Black Cats, Poyet has also had a stint in charge of Championship club Brighton & Hove Albion.

Once his proposed appointment is confirmed, the 46-year-old will inherit a side that is third in the Greek Super League.
