Brighton head coach Roberto De Zerbi will leave the club after their final match of the season against Manchester United this weekend, the Premier League club said Saturday.
De Zerbi joined Brighton in September 2022, replacing Graham Potter, and made an instant impact when he secured their highest top-flight finish (sixth) and helped them qualify for European competition for the first time.

This season, Brighton reached the Europa League round of 16 but struggled in the Premier League, where they are 10th going into the final day of the season Sunday.
“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,” club chairman Tony Bloom said in a statement.
