In an exciting announcement on Saturday afternoon, English club Brighton & Hove Albion confirmed that manager Roberto De Zerbi (44) will be leaving the team after their last Premier League game of the season against Manchester United tomorrow. De Zerbi is a top candidate to replace Thomas Tuchel at Bayern Munich. The coach expressed his pride in what the team has achieved in the past two seasons and hinted at taking a break before deciding on his future plans.
Rumors in England suggest that Brighton officials are already eyeing Brentford’s coach Thomas Frank (50) to take over in the summer due to the team’s current position in 16th place in the second half of the season. However, Brighton has not yet announced a successor. Bayern Munich’s Sporting Director Max Eberl (50) is reportedly keen on convincing De Zerbi to join the club, especially after other potential options like Xabi Alonso, Julian Nagelsmann, Ralf Rangnick, and Oliver Glasner have declined offers.
With the door seemingly open for De Zerbi to potentially move to Bayern Munich, Eberl has hinted that the club is ready to make a strong move. De Zerbi’s departure from Brighton could mark a new chapter in his coaching career, with Bayern Munich being a potential destination. As the football world eagerly awaits the final decision on De Zerbi’s future, all eyes are on the next move for both the departing coach and the German giants.
