Fabio Capello, a world-renowned Italian master, undervalued Brighton coach Roberto Dezerbi, who has recently attracted attention from big European clubs such as Liverpool and Bayern Munich, as a "three-tier" coach.

The British Daily Mail highlighted Capello's remarks on the 14th, saying, "Cappello claimed that Dezerbi was a third-rate manager and that he was connected to big clubs because he was supported by Pep Guardiola."

Capello is a legendary coach from Italy. He has coached prestigious European teams such as AC Milan and Real Madrid and has experience as a member of the English national team. Capello, who announced his retirement after resigning from the position of Chinese coach Suning in 2018, has been drawing attention for his outspoken comments on soccer issues until recently.

Such Capello called Dezerbi, a distant junior, a "bubble." Although Capello could have embraced Dezerbi as a fellow Italian, Capello criticized him harshly.

According to Italian newspaper Calcio Mercato, Capello said, "I would put Dezerbi in the third tier. People often call him one of the best managers for Guardiola's compliments, but Dezerbi ranks 10th to 11th in the primaries this year," adding, "If you look at his career, that's true. Dezerbi only won the title once in Ukraine as Shakhtar Donetsk."

Along with Dynamo Kyiv, Shakhtar is considered one of the strongest teams in the Ukrainian league. However, even as a top-ranked team in the league, Shakhtar only won the Ukraine Super Cup once. Capello stressed that Dezerbai is not capable of leading the top-ranked club, and is a coach who only haunts the mid-ranked team.

"Dezerbi has something to admire like Guardiola, and he's a ready coach who can present his philosophy wherever he plays," Capello said, adding, "But so far, we've mentioned Dezerbi in big clubs, but no one has taken him. Brighton has a release clause of 15 million euros (about 22.1 billion won), but honestly, I think it's too much to pay for Dezerbi."

Dezerbai left Shakhtar in the summer of 2022 to take the helm of Brighton under Graham Potter. Last season, he led Brighton to sixth place in the league and secured a berth in the UEFA Europa League.

However, he has been somewhat disappointed this season. He was still lacking in combining both the league and the Europa League. He is currently ranked 10th in the league and, in a worst-case scenario, could plunge to 13th. He was eliminated early in the round of 16 in the Europa League.

Nevertheless, some predict that he will move to a big club after this season. There is a possibility that he will head to Liverpool to replace Jurgen Klopp, who has already been confirmed to leave the team, and there are also speculations that he will head to Bayern Munich led by Thomas Tuchel.  토토사이트

Manchester City manager Guardiola, who is considered one of the best modern soccer leaders, praised Dezerbi, saying, "He is someone who can manage any team in Europe. You don't have to experience the world's best to be the coach of the world's best team. I am also inspired by Dezerbi. He is one of the most influential coaches for the past 20 years."

Unlike Guardiola, Capello seems to think there is a significant bubble in Dezerbi's ability.
