While he announced this Saturday his departure from Brighton at the end of the season, Roberto De Zerbi (44) will leave a big void on the Seagulls side. In just under two years, the Italian coach had made Brighton a formidable team and had been able to impose his mark. However, the leaders worked quickly to find his successor.
According to information from The Guardian, it is Kieran McKenna (38 years old) who is targeted to ensure the future. The Northern Irishman achieved the great performance of taking Ipswich Town from League One (D3) to the Premier League (D1) in just three years. Former assistant to José Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjær at Manchester United, this young coach is seen as an interesting solution for the future of Brighton in the Premier League.
