Former Real Madrid manager, Fabio Capello, has slammed Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi, claiming he is “third tier”.
According to Capello, there is a lot of talk about De Zerbi being a top coach because Guardiola sponsored him.
De Zerbi joined the Premier League side in September 2022, leading them to a sixth-place finish and the semi-finals of the FA Cup.
But Brighton have struggled under him this season as they currently sit in 10th place with two fixtures left.
“I would put De Zerbi in the third tier,” Capello told Sky Sports.
“There is a lot of talk about him as one of the top coaches because Guardiola sponsors him, but this year he is tenth or eleventh in the standings.
“What has he won in his career? Let’s look at his CV: he has only won one cup in Ukraine.”
