Gus Poyet has been sacked as manager of Real Betis and will be replaced by Victor Sanchez del Amo, the club have announced.
Former Brighton and Hove Albion and Sunderland manager Poyet was appointed in the summer but dismissed after taking 11 points from his opening 11 games in charge with Betis in 14th place in La Liga, two places above the relegation zone.
Poyet's technical staff, Mauricio Taricco, Charlie Oatway and Andy Beasley, have also left the club.
