The 39-year-old former Spurs midfielder will be one of two first team coaches with Marcos Alvarez, working under new head coach Juande Ramos.

Ramos will make his first public appearance tomorrow since taking over from the sacked Martin Jol at a press conference.

Poyet has left Elland Road with the club's best wishes after Leeds agreed an undisclosed compensation package with Tottenham.

Leeds granted the London club permission to speak to their assistant manager yesterday morning following an official approach for the Uruguayan.

A Leeds statement read: "The club would like to thank Gus for his efforts over the past 12 months and wishes him every success in his new role.

"He leaves with the best wishes of everyone connected with the club."

Poyet arrived at Leeds in October 2006 as number two to former Chelsea team-mate Dennis Wise.

The pair had forged a managerial partnership the previous summer at Swindon where they had steered the Robins to the top of Coca-Cola League Two.

Former Chelsea and Tottenham midfielder Poyet, who retired as a player after three years at White Hart Lane in 2004, has been an integral part of Leeds' unbeaten start to the season as the Yorkshire club look to challenge for promotion despite being hit by a 15-point deduction for financial irregularities.
