Official: De Zerbi to leave Brighton after last Premier League match | OneFootball

Brighton and Hove Albion have officially confirmed the imminent departure of head coach Roberto De Zerbi, who’ll leave his post after the last Premier League match of the season.

The 44-year-old Italian coach has been with the Seagulls since September 2022, being brought in to replace Graham Potter following the Englishman’s ill-fated move to Chelsea. He quickly made a name for himself in England, impressing fans and pundits alike with his exciting brand of football.

De Zerbi has been heavily linked with a move away from Brighton this summer, with suitors including Milan and Bayern Munich, but much was written about his €13m release clause, an issue that seemingly pushed the interested parties to look elsewhere.

As confirmed today, De Zerbi will now leave Brighton following their final Premier League match of the season against Manchester United after a mutual agreement was reached, freeing him ahead of the summer.

Journalist Daniele Longo suggested that Bayern are now pushing to try and snap up the 44-year-old Italian tactician and the news could change things at Milan, who have reportedly been focusing on Lille’s Paulo Fonseca.
