Gus Poyet has been named as the new Sunderland manager
The former Brighton manager held further talks with Short and director of football Roberto De Fanti over the weekend and has agreed a two-year contract.
Poyet was also close to landing the job when Martin O'Neill was sacked but he was still employed by Brighton at the time and Short was unwilling to pay compensation.
