The Uruguayan leaves with the club 17th in the Premier League, one point above the relegation zone.
A
statement from Sunderland says: "Sunderland AFC have parted company
with head coach Gus Poyet this afternoon. An announcement will be made
in due course regarding the head coach position. The club would like to
place on record its' thanks to Gus and wishes him well for the future."
The statement has some quotes from chairman
Ellis Short, who adds: "I would like to thank Gus for his endeavours
during his time at the club, in particular last season's 'great escape'
and cup final appearance, which will live long in the memory of every
Sunderland fan.
"Sadly, we have not made the progress that
any of us had hoped for this season and we find ourselves battling, once
again, at the wrong end of the table. We have therefore made the
difficult decision that a change is needed."
