Italian coach Roberto De Zerbi is currently under contract with Premier League club Brighton Hove & Albion, but rumors are swirling that he could be the next manager for Bayern Munich. De Zerbi recently stated that he does not have any other clubs in mind that could change his decision. Bayern’s Sporting Director Max Eberl is reportedly hoping to convince De Zerbi to join the team, especially after other potential options like Thomas Tuchel have fallen through. De Zerbi has expressed his willingness to discuss the situation with Brighton’s top executives before making a decision.
De Zerbi’s contract with Brighton reportedly includes a release clause of twelve million euros, which could facilitate a move to Bayern Munich if an agreement is reached. English media outlets suggest that Brighton has already lined up Thomas Frank from Brentford as a potential replacement for De Zerbi, regardless of Bayern’s interest in the coach. De Zerbi’s future at Brighton remains uncertain, as the club’s management is reportedly dissatisfied with their current position in the Premier League standings. Eberl is believed to be De Zerbi’s top choice for the managerial position at Bayern, with no other alternatives currently in the picture.
As discussions continue between De Zerbi and Brighton’s top management, the Italian coach’s future remains up in the air. While De Zerbi has expressed his gratitude towards Brighton’s owners, the prospect of leading Bayern Munich could be an enticing opportunity for him. With Bayern Munich keen to secure a new manager, and De Zerbi potentially looking for a new challenge, the next few weeks could prove decisive in determining where the talented coach will be plying his trade in the upcoming season.
