As Jurgen Klopp gets ready to leave Anfield at the end of the season, Brighton could expect attention in Roberto De Zerbi, the Seagulls boss being linked to the Liverpool position.
According to reports, Brighton is making measures in case Roberto De Zerbi decides to quit the team due to connections with Liverpool.
According to The Daily Mail, Brighton is considering whether to let the Italian leave the AMEX Stadium. Following Klopp’s plan to stand down at the end of the season, it has been suggested that the former Shakhtar Donetsk tactician might take over at the Reds.
After leading the Seagulls to their first-ever trip to Europe after finishing in sixth position, De Zerbi has garnered praise at Brighton. Brighton, now ranked ninth in the competition, is aiming to make a run at the title and guarantee a spot in the knockout stages, where they will face their rivals. Brighton is challenging for Europe once more.
De Zerbi’s services have been discussed by more than just Liverpool; Manchester United also became involved when Erik ten Hag was under pressure to stay at Old Trafford. The 44-year-old has made it clear that he wouldn’t mind remaining in Brighton, though.
“We are speaking about the new contract, but at this moment we are only speaking,” De Zerbi stated in December. We must examine the target at the end.”
If the goals align with the club’s, I consider working in Brighton to be an honour. I don’t strive to get to the next level. Fixing a significant aim is vital to me. After a fantastic nine years as manager, Klopp made the shocking announcement at the end of January, sparking a clamour for potential successors. “My focus is just on the last part of the season,” De Zerbi added, downplaying any idea that he might be interested in assuming the role at Anfield.
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.”
