Roberto De Zerbi Appointed as Brighton Manager in Premier League

Assistant Head Coach Lorenzo Callegari Joins as Part of Coaching Staff

Italian Coach Brings Attacking Philosophy to Brighton

Roberto De Zerbi, a former Italian footballer and coach, has been appointed as the new manager of Brighton & Hove Albion in the English Premier League. De Zerbi, known for his attacking philosophy, has previously managed clubs in Italy, Ukraine, and Moldova, including Shakhtar Donetsk and Sassuolo.

De Zerbi's appointment comes after the departure of Graham Potter, who joined Chelsea earlier this month. The Italian coach will bring his experience and tactical acumen to Brighton, aiming to build on the team's impressive performances in recent seasons.

De Zerbi, who played as an attacking midfielder during his playing days, is known for his possession-based and attacking style of football. He typically deploys a 4-2-3-1 formation, emphasizing quick passing, movement, and creating chances through intricate combinations.

The 43-year-old manager has a strong track record of developing young players and achieving success with limited resources. At Sassuolo, he guided the team to two top-eight finishes in Serie A and helped them reach the Europa League group stage.

De Zerbi's arrival at Brighton has been met with optimism by fans and pundits. He is expected to bring a fresh approach to the team and continue their recent upward trajectory in the Premier League.

Assistant Head Coach Lorenzo Callegari will join De Zerbi's staff at Brighton. Callegari has previously worked with De Zerbi at Shakhtar Donetsk and Benevento.
