GUS POYET SIGNS TWO-YEAR DEAL AS REAL BETIS HEAD COACH

The former Uruguay internatioanl has been hired by the La Liga outfit as a replacement for Pepe Mel, having temporarily been led by Juan Merino

Real Betis have hired Gustavo Poyet as their new head coach on a two-year deal.

Betis have been led by Juan Merino since sacking Pepe Mel in January, and secured their safety a number of weeks ago.

Poyet heads to Andalusia after spending seven months in charge of AEK Athens, leading the club to a second-placed finish in a season in which they were the only side to beat Olympiacos.

Olympiacos were only prevented from winning twice in the league all season, to put Poyet's achievement into context.

The former Uruguay international midfielder has previous managerial experience in England with Brighton and Hove Albion and Sunderland.

Poyet spent seven years in Spain during his playing career with Real Zaragoza.

Ronaldo's double helped Madrid negotiate a difficult test against Athletic at the Santiago Bernabeu, which saw the visitors cancel out his early opener through Javier Eraso before Aritz Aduriz rattled the crossbar. James Rodriguez and Toni Kroos scored to make it 3-1 before Raphael Varane's second yellow card, while Ronaldo and Gorka Elustondo were on target in the final stages of an entertaining contest.  'Ancelotti the best coach I've worked with' Ronaldo has often been used centrally at Madrid over the past year but Zidane believes his side were always likely to cause problems with him out wide. "We went looking for that because Cri...
