Last updated on .From the section European Football
Former Sunderland and Brighton boss Gus Poyet has agreed to take over as Real Betis head coach on a two-year deal.
Poyet, 47, who left Greek side AEK Athens last month, had been clear favourite to become the new manager of Championship side Nottingham Forest.
Uruguayan Poyet steered the Black Cats to Premier League safety in 2014, but was sacked the following season after a run of poor results.
Poyet replaces interim boss Juan Merino at the La Liga club.
