Former Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi is closing in on a shock return to management after leaving the Albion.
He was linked to a host of top teams in England, including Manchester United and Chelsea.

However, he has lost out on those jobs, with Marseille now courting his signature.
Per Fabrizio Romano, De Zerbi does have a concrete offer to join the French club.
Former Italian international and AC Milan midfielder Gennaro Gattuso was sacked last year, with his replacement Jean-Louis Gasset now retiring.
De Zerbi is at the top of Marseille’s wish list to bring in a top coach to push them up the Ligue 1 table.
