Roberto De Zerbi, Brighton's manager, has been linked with managerial positions at Liverpool, Barcelona, and most recently Bayern Munich.
Despite this, he firmly rejected any speculation about leaving the Amex Stadium, citing his strong affection for the players, city, and club.
De Zerbi steered Brighton through their inaugural UEFA Europa League campaign this season, with the team currently sitting in 13th place in the Premier League standings.
While his name was mentioned in connection with the Liverpool job, Arne Slot was ultimately selected. Rumors also circulated about Barcelona's interest in De Zerbi.
In an interview with Sky Sports, De Zerbi expressed his desire to stay at Brighton and continue his successful tenure.
The club's participation in the UEFA Europa League for the first time this season further fueled his motivation to remain.
"I will have a conversation with Tony Bloom, the owner of Brighton," he stated. "I believe I would like to stay in Brighton because I have a deep affection for my players, this city, my club, and the fans. During a meeting with the fans, I mentioned that if I am content, no other club can tempt me to leave. I want to maintain my passion always."
De Zerbi received widespread praise for seamlessly taking over from the previous manager, Graham Potter, who departed for Chelsea.
Brighton's exciting and high-tempo style of play under De Zerbi's guidance earned admiration throughout the 2022-23 season, resulting in a commendable sixth-place finish.
