Brighton sack Roberto De Zerbi

Roberto De Zerbi has been sacked as Brighton manager after just 11 months in charge of the club.

The Italian oversaw Brighton's highest ever Premier League finish of ninth last season, but the Seagulls have struggled this campaign and are currently 16th in the table.

De Zerbi's departure is the latest in a series of managerial changes at Brighton in recent years. The club has had four different managers in the past three seasons, and De Zerbi's sacking is a sign of the club's frustration at their lack of progress in that time.

Brighton are now looking for a new manager to take the club forward.
