Brighton’s impressive journey under their manager, De Zerbi, has been a highlight, leading them to a historic European qualification and making waves in the Europa League round of 16. His success at Shakhtar Donetsk, where he clinched numerous league titles, adds weight to his candidacy.

The speculation gains momentum as Carragher points out Brighton’s sporting director, Richard Hughes, had shown interest in De Zerbi during his tenure at Bournemouth. Carragher’s tweet, acknowledging Hughes’ preference and Ornstein’s reliability, fuels the anticipation surrounding De Zerbi’s potential move.

However, amidst the excitement, concerns linger. Brighton’s current standing at 10th place in the Premier League might not present the strongest case for De Zerbi to step into Klopp’s legendary shoes at Liverpool. Additionally, his lack of major trophies as a manager raises eyebrows and could be a decisive factor for Liverpool’s board.

Despite Carragher’s insights and the ongoing speculation, Liverpool’s quest for Klopp’s successor continues, leaving fans and pundits alike in anticipation of who will eventually fill the coveted managerial position.
