Roberto De Zerbi: Bayern Munich's managerial target
Italian coach linked with move to German giants
De Zerbi has impressed at Brighton and Hove Albion
Roberto De Zerbi is in talks with Bayern Munich about becoming the club's new manager, according to reports in Germany. The Italian coach has been linked with a move to the Bundesliga champions for several months, and it is now believed that a deal is close to being agreed.
De Zerbi has impressed at Brighton and Hove Albion, guiding the club to a ninth-place finish in the Premier League last season. He has also led the Seagulls to the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup this season.
De Zerbi's attacking style of play is said to have caught the attention of Bayern Munich, who are looking for a replacement for Hansi Flick. Flick left the club at the end of last season to take over as manager of the Germany national team.
If De Zerbi does join Bayern Munich, he will be tasked with winning the Bundesliga title and the Champions League. The German giants have not won the Champions League since 2013, and they will be hoping that De Zerbi can bring them success in Europe.
