One step closer to Munich: Roberto De Zerbi leaves Brighton

One of the biggest and most pressing questions in the current football market is who will be Bayern Munich’s new coach. In recent weeks, the giant from the Allianz Arena tried to convince many experts to start a new era for the Bavarians, but until now, they all had different plans. Starting with Xabi Alonso, Julian Nagelsmann, Ralf Rangnick, Oliver Glasner, Hansi Flick, and finally Thomas Tuchel, with whom no common ground was found regarding a possible stay in Munich.Sports director Max Eberl suffered a headache after headache, and yesterday he marked a new top candidate to take over the team from Sabener Strasse. And it seems that the troubles associated with hiring a new team commander will soon come to an end. Eberl’s choice fell on Roberto De Zerbi, and just today Brighton confirmed that tomorrow’s game with Manchester United will be the last among the Seagulls for the Italian expert.”We have agreed to a mutual termination of cooperation at this moment so that both parties have at their disposal enough time to plan the future and the next season,” said the first man of Brighton Tony Bloom.Alonso’s ‘Invincibles’, amazing Guirassy, Reus’ goodbye and abysmal BayernIt is not yet confirmed that De Zerbi will take over Bayern, but what coach would just leave a secure job two years before the end of the contract, without already securing his future, that is, agreeing to go to a better environment, a bigger club?The news about De Zerbi’s departure from Brighton was reported by the German BILD, writing about the Italian as the main candidate for Bayern, and most German journalists who closely follow the events in the biggest Bundesliga reported the news labeled as “breaking”.”I am very sad to leave Brighton, but I am also very proud of my players and coaching staff and everything we have achieved over the past two historic seasons,” said De Zerbi.##NAJAVA_MECA_8109542##The Italian took over at Brighton on 18 September 2022 from Graham Potter who then moved to Chelsea. He led the Seagulls to 88 games, finished the 2022/23 season in sixth place, bringing Brighton a record ranking in the English elite, while this season he led the team among the best 16 teams of the Europa League.Stylistically, his attacking football could suit Bayern perfectly. For now, his longest coaching tenure is that of Sassuolo, which lasted three years. So far, his career has been exclusively on the upward path – from Foggia to Palermo, then to Benevento, Sassuolo, Shakhtar, and Brighton. The time has come for the 44-year-old to get a chance to lead a European giant. Probability says Bayern, but let’s leave that one as a chance that maybe he could stay in the Premier League and end up at Chelsea or Manchester United.Brighton & Hove Albion has confirmed that head coach Roberto De Zerbi will leave the club after tomorrow’s final Premier League match of the season against Manchester United.— Brighton & Hove Albion (@OfficialBHAFC) May 18, 2024
