Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi to leave club after season-ending match

Long-serving head coach to depart after four years in charge

De Zerbi oversaw a successful period for the Seagulls, guiding them to their highest ever Premier League finish

Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi is to leave the club after their final match of the season. The Italian has been in charge of the Seagulls for two and a half years, overseeing their rise to ninth in the Premier League, their highest ever finish.

De Zerbi's departure is a blow to Brighton, who have been impressed by his work at the Amex Stadium. However, the Italian is understood to be keen on a new challenge, and he is thought to have a number of offers from other clubs.

Brighton are now on the lookout for a new manager, and they are expected to appoint someone who can continue the good work that De Zerbi has done.
