Guardiola praises Brighton's De Zerbi: "He's one of the most influential managers"

Roberto de Zerbi's Brighton & Hove Albion will play in Europe next season. They are likely to play in either the Europa League or the Conference League.

They will face Manchester City at the AMEX stadium looking for all three points. The Sky Blues manager praised the Argentinian coach at the pre-match press conference.

"Roberto is one of the most influential managers in the last 20 years. There is no team playing the way they play. It's unique. I had the feeling when he arrived the impact he would have in the Premier League would be great," he told reporters.

"I didn't expect him to do it in this short space of time. He creates 20 or 25 chances per game, better by far than most opponents. He monopolises the ball in a way it hasn't been for a long time. They deserve completely the success they have."
