SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Uruguayan Gus Poyet resigned as coach of Shanghai Shenhua on Monday after a 2-1 loss to Henan Jianye at the weekend left the big-spending club languishing in 12th place in the Chinese Super League.
The club's 11th defeat in 23 matches this season came despite the introduction of Carlos Tevez off the bench after the Argentine forward's return from injury on Sunday.
