Manchester United trails league leaders Arsenal by 17 points and may not qualify for the Champions League the following season.

Under such circumstances, Roberto De Zerbi is reportedly being considered as Erik ten Hag’s replacement at Old Trafford, and ten Hag’s employment there may be in jeopardy.

According to today’s Sport Bild (news graphic below), Europe is vying for the services of the Italian coach.

According to the German media site, the Brighton manager is particularly being courted by teams like Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Barcelona, the Spanish champions, and Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga winners.

For the first time in their history, Sassuolo gained entry into Europe under De Zerbi’s direction.

In a similar vein, he assisted Brighton in qualifying for Europe for the first time, and the Seagulls were eliminated from the Europa League earlier this month (Last 16).

According to Sport Bild, the 44-year-old manager’s current deal with the Amex team includes a release clause that may be satisfied by suitors looking to sign him for roughly £12 million (14 million euros).
