Brighton consider Kjetil Knutsen and Roberto De Zerbi to replace Graham Potter following Chelsea appointment
Brighton are considering moves for Kjetil Knutsen and Roberto De Zerbi as potential contenders for the manager's post.
The Seagulls are looking for a new boss following Graham Potter's appointment as Chelsea manager.
According to , Knutsen and De Zerbi are among the names being considered as the Seagulls prepare to step up their recruitment process next week.
With Potter playing a possession-based brand of football that is centred around the development of talented young players, Brighton are keen to bring in a new face who can continue the working being done since Potter's arrival in 2019.
Knutsen is currently manager of FK Bodø/Glimt and has really shone in recent years after guiding the club into the Europa League this term and reaching the quarter finals of the Europa Conference League last year.
As for De Zerbi, the 43-year-old has excelled in spells with Italian side Sassuolo and Shaktar Donetsk whom he was with until July this year before leaving as a result of the war with Russia.
Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou and Nottingham Forest's Steve Cooper have also been linked with the job, however the report suggests that neither manager is a serious option.
