Barcelona Eyes Brighton Manager De Zerbi to Succeed Xavi at Season’s End

Spanish football giants Barcelona are reportedly setting their sights on Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi to take the reins from current manager Xavi once he steps down at the end of the season.

De Zerbi, known for his tactical acumen and innovative approach to the game, has caught the attention of Barcelona’s hierarchy who see him as a potential candidate to lead the club forward.

Xavi, the legendary former Barcelona player, has been at the helm since November 2021 and is expected to make way for a new manager as part of the club’s long-term planning.

Brighton, the English Premier League club, may face a battle to retain De Zerbi’s services if Barcelona decides to pursue the Italian tactician.
