Brighton and Hove Albion have appointed former Tottenham, Leeds and Swindon assistant Gus Poyet as their new first team manaer.
Poyet, who turns 42 this weekend has agreed a contract until the end of next season.
Speaking to BBC Sussex, former UrPoyet commented: "This is another challenge for me to take the club where everybody in Brighton wants to be and that's in the Championship.
"Being realistic I think 18 months is possible. If that is the goal of the club it's no problem."
Gustavo Augusto Poyet Domínguez, being his full name, represented Uruguay 26 times in a playing career that spanned Grenoble, River Plate, Zaragoza, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur.
