Ex-Brighton boss De Zerbi eager to jump back into next job

Brighton's departing head coach Roberto De Zerbi does not look like he wants to take a sabbatical.

The Italian is ready to get to work for his next club after announcing his Albion departure.

De Zerbi and the Brighton board were unable to find an agreement on transfer plans.

I hope to work in the Premier League again. I don't know when, I don't know where," he said after Brighton's defeat to Manchester United on Sunday.

"For me it was an honor working in the Premier League. The stadiums are incredible, the atmosphere is unique.

Without football is difficult for me, I will smoke more cigarettes, I hope to find a solution before the (next) season starts, otherwise I will study other coaches, watch 100 games per week more or less."
