Roberto de Zerbi: ‘I’ve had no offers’

Outgoing Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi insists he has not been offered another job – yet.

The Seagulls announced the Italian would be leaving the club after Sunday’s match against Manchester United at the Amex, which the visitors won 2-0.

The 44-year-old had been linked with a host of big jobs across Europe, including Liverpool and Bayern Munich but after the game de Zerbi told BBC Sport: “At the moment, nothing. There isn’t any club – no-one offered (a deal).”

The former Shakhtar Donetsk coach joined Brighton in the wake of Graham Potter’s departure in September 2022 but is less than halfway through a four-year deal.

“I hope to work in the Premier League again. I don’t know where or when. It’s an honour to work in the Premier League,” he added.

De Zerbi steered the south coast side to the top-six last season and the last-16 of the Europa League in their first ever European campaign this term, with memorable wins over Ajax and Marseille along the way before a 4-1 aggregate exit to Roma.

Brighton have been linked with Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna as they bid to make a swift appointment.
