As Jürgen Klopp gets ready to depart Anfield at the end of the season, Brighton should be ready for interest in Roberto De Zerbi, the Seagulls boss being linked to the Liverpool position.
Brighton is preparing for the possibility that Roberto De Zerbi, its coach, could decide to depart to join Liverpool. The Seagulls are reportedly creating backup plans in case the Italian decides to leave the team.
According to The Daily Mail, Brighton is considering its options in the event that De Zerbi disappears, since teams from all around Europe are reportedly interested in him. After Jürgen Klopp said he was departing at the end of the season, he is being considered to take over at Anfield.
At Brighton, De Zerbi has made a major impression. He has led his team to the Europa League for the first time and received numerous accolades for the way they play. Brighton is currently in ninth place in the Premier League and has advanced to the
Because INEOS is taking over at Old Trafford, there are concerns regarding Erik ten Hag’s position, which is another reason why Manchester United has been discussing the Italian. De Zerbi, though, hinted that he might remain in Brighton.
De Zerbi stated in December that “We are talking about the new contract, but we are just talking right now.” We must evaluate the target at the conclusion. It’s an honour for me to work in Brighton if the goals align with the club’s. I don’t strive to get to the next level. Fixing a significant aim is vital to me.”
When questioned earlier this year about the potential of moving to Anfield, the Italian manager merely shook his head. “I’m just focused on the final stretch of the season,” he stated. We’re going to play a historic portion of the season and contend. We participate in the Premier League with the same goal as the previous year.”
Brighton is unsurprisingly prepared for any turns and turns. The team has gained recognition for its ability to successfully fill positions both on and off the pitch even after losing notable players like Alexis Mac Allister, Dan Ashworth, Paul Winstanley, Moisés Caicedo, and Graham Potter.
The Telegraph reports that Sam Jewell, Brighton’s player acquisition coordinator, is reportedly considering a move, with Chelsea and Manchester United also showing interest. Jewell has already complimented the Seagulls on their astute preparation to handle any eventuality.
“We’re very lucky at Brighton because there is very little upheaval when people do move on,” he remarked. Football is a game of departures, and although it was sorry to see two truly wonderful people go, it has given others—including me—new opportunities.”
According to Liverpool.com, it’s not shocking if Brighton has preparations for De Zerbi’s exit. He’s likely to be in the running for another significant post elsewhere even if he doesn’t land the Liverpool position. Of course, Manchester United is the subject of a lot of discussion, but Barcelona and Bayern Munich may soon be considering similar searches for new managers.
Given how well he performed at Brighton and how well his team is playing football, De Zerbi is certain to play for the Reds. That said, Xabi Alonso remains the clear favourite for the position.
