Roberto De Zerbi states he is “really lucky” to be at a club like Brighton in the middle of reports connecting him with the Liverpool task. 

The Italian is among the favourites to take over from Jurgen Klopp when the German leaves Anfield at the end of the season. He has actually likewise been related to the future uninhabited functions at Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

But the 44-year-old insists he is totally concentrated on the task at hand and not interested in rumours about his future.

“At this moment you are asking me a lot of times if I am leaving but I am still proud to be coach at Brighton,” De Zerbi informed the media ahead of Wednesday’s Premier League clash with Brentford.

“I know I am really lucky to work with these players, to work with this club. I’d like to compete with a full squad but I try to play with the players available and I think they are enough.”

He included: “It’s not an issue, it’s a part of my work. At the minute I wish to be focused and to keep my eyes on the target we have. I have the agreement at the minute. The focus is on the pitch.

“I’m very relaxed and without problems. The problems are the injured players and the preparations for the next game. These are the problems, not the contract or my future.”

De Zerbi recently stated he will need to speak to the Brighton hierarchy before dedicating his future to the club.

“I have not decided my future, and I want to speak with Tony (Bloom, club chairman) to understand his plan and then we will take a decision together without problems,” he stated.

The previous Shakhtar Donetsk supervisor led the Seagulls to 6th in the Premier League table last season, their finest ever top-flight surface, and the knockout stage of this year’s Europa League.
