Oxford United and Wrexham are among the clubs interested in signing Marc Leonard.
The Scottish midfielder has spent the last two seasons on loan to Northampton. #BHAFC theathletic.com/5350316/2024/0…

Brighton have a friendly against QPR at Loftus Road on Saturday August 3 (3pm). #BHAFC
Not quite as far as Japan, where they play Kashima Antlers on July 24 (11am UK) and Tokyo Verdy on July 28 (10.30am).
Both games at Tokyo's national stadium.

Yes, van Hecke has been excellent, but having Colwill on the left so that Dunk could play on the right was significant to De Zerbi's forensic style of playing out.

Chelsea and Brighton are looking for new head coaches and a decision on Erik ten Hag's future at #MUFC has yet to be made.

With all three Premier League clubs talking to prospective managers, Jacob Whitehead analyses the strengths and shortfalls of each position.

Alexis Mac Allister and Levi Colwill made their final appearances exactly a year ago. #BHAFC
Two of the biggest reasons why the 2023-24 season did not go as well as 2022-23.

Roberto De Zerbi has been linked with some of the biggest jobs in football. So what now?

Time for a break, so nothing on here from me until next week.

What next for Brighton after De Zerbi’s last dance and the quick step to Europe. #BHAFC nytimes.com/athletic/55041…

It is human nature to remember what has gone wrong recently more than what went right before.
Roberto De Zerbi’s reign ended badly in the last five months, but he delivered Europe and a memorable group stage campaign with the best football Brighton have ever played. #BHAFC

Another one done.
A memorable 30th year covering Brighton full-time. The first in Europe…and first with the head coach announced on the penultimate day to be leaving. #BHAFC

Roberto De Zerbi wants new club by next season, hopes ‘to work in Premier League again’. #BHAFC nytimes.com/athletic/55049…

De Zerbi: 'Tony Bloom is a great owner, he knows what is best for Brighton, his recruitment is top and the future of Brighton will be great while he is the owner.
We had different ideas, yes, but what is the problem? There isn't a problem.' #BHAFC

De Zerbi repeats what he said on Friday. 'Maybe I can stay at home for two, three, four months, I don't know.
'I have nothing behind me (other job plans).'
#BHAFC

The end of Roberto De Zerbi’s reign. #BHAFC

The players have formed a guard of honour for Adam Lallana and for Roberto De Zerbi, preceded by his staff. #BHAFC
Warm applause all around the stadium.

A montage of clips playing on the big screens of De Zerbi.
Away end has emptied, but most of the home fans have stayed behind. #BHAFC #BHAMUN

11th place now confirmed by Bournemouth's defeat at Chelsea. #BHAFC #BHAMUN
Think most supporters would have settled for that with reaching the last 16 of the Europa League.
Poor form since January has been costly.

De Zerbi on the pitch, handshakes and hugs with players and staff after the final whistle. #BHAFC #BHAMUN
There is going to be the customary end of season lap of appreciation.
