New Sunderland boss Gus Poyet says he should not be compared to controversial predecessor Paolo Di Canio, reports BBC Sport. "The time of Paolo has come to an end. We are all different. You cannot compare me to anyone. I am not better or worse, I am different" said Poyet.
Poyet added that caretaker boss Kevin Ball would stay at the club.
Mauricio Taricco and Charlie Oatway are expected to team up with Poyet as his backroom staff, just as they did at Brighton before his dismissal in June, but the Uruguayan believes Ball still has a part to play.
"Kevin doesn't know yet how important he is going to be for me. It is clear you need someone with the qualities Kevin has so I am going to count on him a lot," he said.
