Poyet rules himself out of running for Leeds United post

BRIGHTON manager Gus Poyet has ruled himself out of the running for the vacant Leeds job.

Poyet enjoyed a spell at Elland Road as assistant to Dennis Wise in 2006 but insists he is not interested in succeeding Simon Grayson following his sacking on Wednesday.

Speaking ahead of Saturday’s clash with Leicester, Poyet said: “It’s a massive club, a great place to manage and I would always be open to a job at Leeds - but of course not right now!”
