Italian coach, Roberto De Zerbi has confirmed he is leaving Brighton after the final league game of the season tomorrow. The former Shakter Donetsk Coach told the club’s website on Saturday.
I am very sad to be leaving Brighton, but I am very proud of what my players and staff have achieved with the support of everyone at the club and our amazing fans in the past two historical seasons.
I have really enjoyed an intense and challenging two years working in the Premier League, not least competing in four major competitions this season. Leaving now provides me with time to take a break before deciding on my future plans.
We have agreed to end my time at Brighton so that the club and I can continue to work in the way that suits each of us best, following our own ideas and visions, as well as our work and human values.
~Roberto De Zerbi.
De Zerbi has been in charge at the American Express Stadium for two seasons, a period that saw Brighton qualify for Europe for the first time in the club’s history.
