Ex-Shakhtar coach De Zerbi set to leave Brighton

Head coach Roberto de Zerbi will leave Brighton after their final Premier League match of the season.

Former Shakhtar Donetsk coach De Zerbi joined the Seagulls in September 2022 on a four-year contract.

"Roberto has given us two excellent seasons of service in which he has led the club to new heights, not least our first ever European campaign which will live long in the memory of Albion fans," said Brighton chairman Tony Bloom.

"We have mutually agreed to end Roberto’s contract at a time that suits both parties allowing us the earliest opportunity to plan for next season, and Roberto plenty of time to consider his next move and his future."

Brighton are 10th in the Premier League before their final game on Sunday.
