If Liverpool decides to sign Roberto De Zerbi to replace Jurgen Klopp, they shouldn’t find much opposition.
In 2022, Brighton CEO Paul Barber acknowledged that the Seagulls had begun looking for a replacement as soon as the Italian arrived.
The South Coast Executive informed Sky Sports (via Sussex World) that “we are looking for the next manager almost as soon as a new one comes in.”
“Football is such and such in its character. We worked hard to find the kind of manager we wanted to replace Graham since we did not anticipate losing him at the time that we did.
We are examining the playing styles of European coaches. which resources they are utilizing and the outcomes they are obtaining from them.
“We then create a shortlist, and shortly after Graham left us, that shortlist gained significant importance.”
According to reports, the 44-year-old has a deal at the Amex Stadium through 2026.
Brighton is a very professionally managed team.
Brighton is incredibly well-run, which is to Liverpool’s or possibly Bayern Munich’s advantage.
However, the Reds could want to consider the player that the Premier League team is scouting to replace De Zerbi!
Thankfully, it appears that backup plans exist in case we: A) fail to sign Xabi Alonso this summer; and B) change our minds about the Brighton manager.
According to reports, Liverpool’s backup option is Ruben Amorim.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the manager of Sporting Lisbon is now ranked second by Liverpool.
This is in response to reports that the 39-year-old did exceptionally well on William Spearman’s internal data tests.
If Xabi Alonso stays put, it appears that we won’t be obliged to take a single path.
