Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi says he has no regrets over his comments about Premier League referees.

De Zerbi has stated he dislikes "80 per cent" of them.

De Zerbi said: “I have always respected everyone, especially referees.

“I'm sorry for the controversy but for sure I will say my opinion while respecting everyone. I love talking honestly. Wherever I work, I will say my opinion – I think it's my right.

“I remember very well what I said and I don't think I said anything bad.

"I said just my opinion, maybe it's not possible. I love talking honestly. I didn't say anything about the red card of Dahoud.

“I don't like speaking in controversy, it's not my job.

"My focus is on my players, my team, to give the organisation to help my players to win points; other things are not my job."
