Brighton midfielder Yasin Ayari is backing Henrik Rydström for the manager's job.
Rydström has been mentioned as a candidate for the post after Roberto de Zerbi's departure at the end of last season.

On the Malmo coach, Ayari told Sportbladet: "How sick! It'd be great fun if he comes.
"Both now when he is in Malmö and a bit when he was in Kalmar. He is a great coach who likes to play good football. It would be fantastic if he came."
The former AIK prospect understands why Brighton have Rydström under consideration.
"The rumor can't be completely stupid, because Brighton looks a lot at data and statistics and I think he has very good statistics in the Allsvenskan when it comes to things like that."
