Brighton have confirmed the managerial appointment of Roberto De Zerbi, whose first game in charge of the club will come against Liverpool next month.
The Seagulls have been on the lookout for an individual to fill this position after losing Graham Potter to Chelsea, who bid farewell to the club after a successful three-year spell.
De Zerbi has agreed a four-year deal with Brighton and arrives in the Premier League having predominantly coached in Italy, taking charge of the likes of Palermo and Sassuolo. His most recent role was at Shakhtar Donetsk, though the 43-year-old left the club in July of this year amid the situation in Ukraine following Russia's invasion earlier this year.
