Roberto de Zerbi has stated that he does not have another managerial job lined up following his departure from Brighton.
It was announced on Saturday that De Zerbi would be leaving after Sunday’s Premier League match against Brighton, which ended in a 2-0 loss.
There have been reports linking the 44-year-old with several top European clubs, including Bayern Munich.
“There isn’t any club – no-one offered [anything]. At the moment, nothing,” De Zerbi said.
“I hope to work in the Premier League again. I don’t know where or when. But it was an honour to work in the Premier League.”
Former Shakhtar Donetsk coach Roberto de Zerbi joined Brighton in September 2022 on a four-year contract.
He led the club to a sixth-place finish last season, their highest ever in the top flight, and secured European qualification for the first time in their history.
This season, Brighton finished 10th in the league and reached the last 16 of the Europa League.
Midfielder Adam Lallana, who is also departing, described De Zerbi as “the gold dust on top.”
De Zerbi stated that he had “no problem” with the club’s hierarchy.
“We didn’t find the agreement to move on,” he told BBC Match of the Day.
“I want to keep my way. I know very well what I want to do and I know I am a coach and I have to accept the policies of the club.
“They gave me an incredible chance. They give me the possibility to know incredible people, to play and to work in the Premier League, to play in the Europa League.
“They gave me the opportunity to know this club, this city, these fans and for that I cannot forget.”
Brighton chairman Tony Bloom said the club have plans in place to find a successor.
“You don’t find many times in football when relationships come to an end amicably,” he said. “This is one that has.
“We always try and have a plan. We have got a plan. We now need to execute that plan.”
