An idea also shared by the technical director David Weir, who met De Zerbi first virtually and then in person. “Roberto has shown what he is worth both in Italy and in Ukraine, with the results obtained at Sassuolo that stand out particularly. We can’t wait to introduce him to the team, to make sure that he makes his football ideas known to the players to continue our game. important start of the season “.
THE TEAM
–
De Zerbi inherits a team that has so far obtained 13 points in 6 games, proposing itself in the upper areas of the standings as a surprise of the season. the debut of the new coach is on Saturday 1 October at Anfield against Liverpool: certainly not an easy one, but a match worthy of the one that De Zerbi accepted by saying yes to Brighton. The former Sassuolo coach brings the same staff that followed him from Emilia to Shakthar Donetsk to the Premier, an adventure that ended early due to the war. Brighton had immediately set their sights on De Zerbi, once Potter had given the green light to accept Chelsea’s proposal: they liked his ideas, the results obtained above all with Sassuolo. The other names on the list were Kjetil Knutsen, Norwegian coach of Bodo / Glimt and Bo Svenson, who coaches Mainz in the Bundesliga, but none of them were as convincing as De Zerbi. The challenge now will be to repeat in Brighton those extraordinary results obtained both with Sassuolo and in Ukraine, in a team with many excellent players but without stars. Those that De Zerbi had neither at Sassuolo nor at Shakhtar.
