Taricco Joins Brighton - Ipswich Town News
Town legend Mauricio Taricco has been named the assistant manager of Brighton and Hove Albion, working under his former Spurs team-mate Gus Poyet.
Taricco, who played for the Blues between 1994 and 1999, has been living in Sardinia since ending his playing career with a very brief spell at West Ham in 2004.
Brighton chairman Tony Bloom welcomed Taricco and Poyet to the Withdean Stadium: "Gus is one of the best up and coming young coaches in this country and we are delighted to give him his first opportunity in management.
"His credentials are exceptional and all of the reports we have had on his coaching ability are outstanding.
"I am certain he will be a big success with the Albion, and I would like to take this opportunity to welcome both Gus and Mauricio to the club."
