Brighton chief exec Paul Barber has explained releasing scout Salvatore Monaco from his contract
Monaco followed manager Roberto de Zerbi from Shakhtar Donetsk earlier this season, but has now departed Falmer stadium.
Barber explained: Salvatore's role was always one that was going to be different in our club versus the clubs that he's been at before.
In the end we agreed, and Roberto made the final decision, that Salvatore would leave.
We've got a different process to a lot of clubs.
What we don't do in the way that other clubs do is charge around the world, constantly watching matches looking at players, which is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
What we try and do is focus on the areas for improvement, focus on the players that we feel can fill that gap and then send our eyes, our scouts to look specifically at those players.
We don't tend to do what some scouts do around the world, which is constantly circle the world looking.
I think that was more Salvatore's sort of previous style of operating."
