It looks like Gustavo Poyet has coached his last game for Bordeaux. The Uruguayan trainer completely lost his temper during last Thursday's press conference in which he expressed his dissatisfaction about the management of the club. Consequently, the club's management decided to place the trainer on non-active.
Poyet was furious about the fact that striker Gaëtan Laborde was sold to Montpellier, against his advice. He found out that the player had actually left already by calling him, after he didn't show up at the hotel where the team was staying.
During this summer he already had to deal with Malcom and Diego Rolan being sold for 47 Million Euro, while just a fraction of that money was invested in strengthening the selection. This was probably the well known straw that broke the camel's back as he snapped during the press conference:
It's a disgrace to me, my players and the fans. I cannot accept this and demand a clear explanation from the owners and club chairman. If they will give this to me, then I will decide if i'm going to continue. I don't care about club management, who is talking behind my back and tried to stick a dagger in my back
The club's press officer tried to neutralize the situation and calm him down, but that didn't stop Poyet:
No no, I will stop whenever I want, not you. I want to so see some public accountability. I ask for respect and professionalism. Or else it's over.
