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

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."

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

Poyet has left Elland Road after Leeds agreed an undisclosed compensation package with Tottenham.

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

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.

Also formerly at Chelsea, 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.
