EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW BY WILL PICKWORTH: Gus Poyet knows all about ruthless change and transition at Chelsea. The Uruguayan starred at Stamford Bridge between 1997 and 2001, helping the club to win the FA Cup, UEFA Super Cup, UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and Community Shield during an era where trophies didn't come easy.

Chelsea fans are stunned by an image of their former hero 19 years after he left Stamford Bridge, though he still has one of his most iconic features. The Blues were a completely different team in 1997. The Stamford Bridge outfit had won their first major trophy in more than 20 years the season before, and decided to build a team capable of winning the league championship.

Celestine Babayaro, Graeme Le Saux, Gus Poyet, and Tore Andre Flo's likes were snapped up ahead of their 1997-98 campaign under new manager Ruud Gullit.

Plymouth's current manager, Steven Schumacher, left the team last week to take over Stoke City.

Despite that, Plymouth is now looking for a new coach to take over.

Gus Poyet, a former Chelsea midfielder, has said he'made a mistake' in his initial decision on the club's signing of Mykhailo Mudryk earlier this year.

CHRIS WHEELER: Northern Ireland's only good news on a hot and tumbling night in Athens was that they had escaped the threat of Nations League relegation. Despite capitulating to Greece at the Georgios Kamaras Stadium, Cyprus' 5-1 loss to Kosovo saved Ian Baraclough's side from the disappointment of finishing last in Group C2 in Group C2. Northern Ireland is now set to drop into pot five for the Euro 2024 draw next month, meaning they will face a much tougher qualifying group on the road to Germany.

The Brandlhof Hotel in Saalfelden, close to Salzburg, is a haven of tranquillity and has been where Jurgen Klopp likes to open Liverpool's season. The outdoor facilities in the Austrian Alps are all the modern footballer needs to get fit, but last month, the club's campaign was dominated by physical conditioning. Darwin Nunez had the feeling that he would need time to recover during his first weeks at Liverpool. He had been quiet around camp, and some wondered what he'd make of a canceled karaoke night.

Following Timo Werner's departure, Chelsea legend Gus Poyet believes that the club's void could be filled by a signing of ex-Arsenal captain Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang. Gus Poyet, a former Chelsea winger, believes Barcelona's Aubameyang has all the answers to the London club's woes in front of goal.
