Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi admits he is only focusing on this season.

The Italian was asked about whether he would be committing to the club beyond the summer.

De Zerbi has been forthright about his ambitions as a coach in the past, and reiterated on this occasion: I have another two years of contract.

To work next season at Brighton I don't need to extend another year or two years.

I can stay and work in Brighton with or without the extension. Nothing has changed.

For that I said at the moment we finished the discussion about the contract, but not because I have decided yet to leave.

No, no. My focus is on Brighton this season, the next season.

But before starting next season I would like to listen to the plan of the team. I think it is a serious thing."
