Brighton said it had agreed to contracts with De Zerbi’s coaching team subject to work permits, with the intention the group will be in place for Albion’s match at Anfield against Liverpool on Saturday week.

The club has also delayed Roberto’s formal introduction to the media until Tuesday afternoon as a mark of respect to HM Queen Elizabeth II.
