„Brighton“ leaders have chosen the main candidate who could replace Graham Potter as head coach at „Chelsea“. It is reported that the „Seagulls“ are in talks with the specialist from Italy Roberto de Zerbi. According to Fabrizio Romano, negotiations are currently entering the most important stages. The strategist is interested in working in the „Premier“ League. From 2018 to 2021, R. de Zerbi coached the „Sassuolo“ team. His team's football was highly praised and managed to finish in 8th place in „Serie A“ for two consecutive seasons. The 43-year-old specialist triumphed in the Ukrainian championship with „Shakhtar“, but left the team at the start of the war for understandable reasons. „Brighton“ sees R. de Zerbi as the ideal specialist to replace Potter. The Italian football style is promoted - good football, trust in young players, and good results.
