Brighton & Hove Albion has confirmed that head coach, Roberto De Zerbi, will leave the club at the end of the 2023/2024 season.

De Zerbi, who joined Brighton in September 2022, following the departure of Graham Potter to Chelsea, oversaw the club’s highest top flight finish in 2022/23 and led the club to the last 16 of the UEFA Europa League earlier this season.

Brighton chairman, Tony Bloom, said, “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.

De Zerbi can still secure a top-half finish before moving on to whatever lies ahead.

Three points against United on Sunday will lock up 10th place, and they could still secure 10th if they draw or lose and other results go their way.
