Brighton & Hove Albion supporters have been given a reason to celebrate after the club officially confirmed the return of former manager Roberto De Zerbi, who will rejoin the Seagulls as Technical Advisor in a move that has generated widespread excitement around the Amex Stadium in Brighton, England.
De Zerbi, who earned the admiration of Brighton fans during his previous spell in charge, returns to the south coast in a new capacity with the objective of helping shape the club’s long-term football strategy. While he will not be involved in day-to-day coaching or matchday management, his influence is expected to be felt across recruitment, player development, football operations, and the club’s overall sporting philosophy.
The announcement was met with an overwhelmingly positive reaction from supporters, many of whom still regard De Zerbi as one of the most influential figures in Brighton’s modern history. During his time as manager, he transformed the Seagulls into one of the Premier League’s most attractive teams, earning praise throughout Europe for his bold attacking football, intelligent tactical approach, and ability to improve young players.
Club executives believe bringing De Zerbi back in an advisory role will help preserve the football identity that Brighton have carefully built over recent years. His knowledge of modern football, eye for emerging talent, and extensive European connections are expected to strengthen the club’s recruitment network while ensuring continuity in the club’s long-term vision.
Speaking after his appointment, De Zerbi expressed his delight at returning to a club that he described as “special.”
“Brighton has always had a place in my heart. The supporters, the players, and everyone connected with the club made me feel at home. I’m excited to return in this new role and help Brighton continue growing both in England and across Europe. This club has incredible ambition, and I’m proud to be part of its future once again.”
Brighton chairman Tony Bloom also welcomed De Zerbi back, praising both his football intelligence and his understanding of the club’s philosophy.
“Roberto played a huge role in one of the most exciting periods in our history. His experience and vision make him the perfect person to help guide our sporting project. We’re delighted to welcome him back to Brighton.”
Players are also expected to benefit from De Zerbi’s return. His reputation for developing young talent and improving technical ability could prove invaluable as Brighton continue investing heavily in youth prospects and emerging stars from around the world.
Supporters gathered outside the Amex Stadium following the announcement, with many chanting De Zerbi’s name and expressing optimism that his return signals another exciting chapter for the club.
Although his responsibilities will now take place behind the scenes rather than on the touchline, many believe Roberto De Zerbi’s influence could once again help Brighton compete with England’s biggest clubs while maintaining the progressive style of football that has become synonymous with the Seagulls.
For Brighton fans, it feels less like a reunion—and more like welcoming home one of the architects of the club’s remarkable rise.
