Gustavo Poyet back in Ligue 1?

Without a club since his departure from Universidad Católica (Chile), Gustavo Poyet is according to our information ready to find a new challenge and more particularly in Ligue 1. A championship that the Uruguayan had also experienced during his time at the Girondins de Bordeaux during the 2017-18 season. Dismissed by the Girondins board after having publicly criticized the transfer of Gaëtan Laborde to Montpellier in August 2018, Gustavo Poyet now seems ready to bounce back in France.

In sporting terms, his record in Bordeaux was deemed positive (13 wins, 2 draws, 6 defeats). The former Tottenham player replaced Jocelyn Gourvennec in January 2018. Having taken the club in 15th place, Poyet had managed to qualify Bordeaux for the play-offs of the Europa League.
