Gus Poyet
Albion manager Gus Poyet has been sacked.
A statement released on the club website said: "Gus Poyet has been informed today by Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club's internal disciplinary panel that his employment has been terminated with immediate effect.
"This followed his suspension, an investigation, and a subsequent formal disciplinary process. In line with the club's own procedures, and UK employment law, Mr Poyet now has a right of appeal. As such, the club will make no further comment on this matter or recent LMA statements at this time."
Albion plan to appoint an interim manager, with the players reporting back tomorrow for pre-season medical tests.
The club statement added: "Given the close proximity of the new season, the club will, in conjunction with its board, now seek to appoint an interim manager pending the outcome of a possible appeal.
*"The interim manager will oversee the initial weeks of pre-season preparation alongside the club's existing staff. The club's first-team players report back as planned for pre-season testing."
The announcement of Poyet's departure coincided with the Uruguayan appearing on the BBC tonight as a studio pundit as part of their Confederations Cup coverage.
