Brighton's first qualification for Europe is "more prestigious than winning the title" with a top-six club, says manager Roberto de Zerbi.

"This is more prestigious than winning the Premier League with one of the big-six teams," said De Zerbi.
Brighton's excellent season has seen De Zerbi linked with a number of big clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur, but the 43-year-old Italian is adamant he wants a long stay at the south coast club.
"It is an honour to be the coach of Brighton and work with these players. I want to stay a long time," he told BBC Radio 5 live.
"The truth is I don't want to lose this group because I am enjoying work with them. [They are] a group with a big level and I don't want to lose this. I am lucky to work with them and be here at this moment.
