Brighton Manager De Zerbi Set to Depart After United Match

Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi will depart from the club on Sunday after their match against Manchester United in the English Premier League.

De Zerbi, a potential candidate for high-profile clubs, is parting ways with Brighton by mutual agreement, sparking further speculation about his next move. Bayern Munich and Juventus are among the clubs seeking a new coach.

“I have really enjoyed an intense and challenging two years working in the Premier League, not least competing in four major competitions this season," said the 44-year-old Italian in the club's announcement on Saturday. “Leaving now provides me with time to take a break before deciding on my future plans.”

Brighton chairman Tony Bloom praised De Zerbi for his service, saying, “We have mutually agreed to end Roberto’s contract at a time that suits both parties, allowing us the earliest opportunity to plan for next season, and Roberto plenty of time to consider his next move and his future.”
