Graham Potter moved to Stamford Bridge with the hopes of success, however, the Englishman flopped big time.
De Zerbi took over at the American Express Community Stadium (AMEX Stadium) and has amassed huge success as head coach of Brighton and Hove Albion helping them finished sixth on the Premier League 2022/23 table, five (5) points behind fifth-placed Liverpool.
With Brighton’s position on the Premier League 2022/23 table, the Seagulls qualified for the Uefa Europa League 2023/24, thanks to the managerial skills of the Italian.
Brighton wrote: “RDZ became boss #OnThisDay last year.”
Today, Monday 18 September, 2023 makes it exactly one year since Roberto de Zerbi took the managerial baton at Brighton and Hove Albion.
In their most recent Premier League 2023/24 match against Manchester United, Brighton emerged victorious, discomfiting their hosts by three goals to one at the Old Trafford on Sunday 17 September, 2023.
