Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi admits he still pinches himself over being a Premier League manager.

De Zerbi is in his second season in charge at Brighton.

He told DAZN: "In reality, I still don't think I'm a Premier League coach, despite almost 70 games here," De Zerbi said in his interview.

I started from Serie D, I did all the possible training, I didn't start as part of anybody's staff or as anyone's assistant. Not even my mother would have given me a team to lead at the beginning.

I've done so much training that every once in a while I stop and think: 'sh**, I'm in the Premier League, I'm in the Europa League'.

It's difficult for me to see myself as a role model for other coaches, I always look to the coaches that I like, like Postecoglou, Guardiola, Sarri, Motta or Italiano."
