I think there's like three people who can properly use the wonky search function and I am one of them...

My mum was born in Foggia, and De Zerbi is my uncles hero, my uncle supports Calcio Foggia, and not only as a player but as a manager was a god for them.

Brighton-De Zerbi, meeting scheduled for the beginning of the week. Optimism on the negotiation. The coach also likes the team for their attitude and mentality. Fundamental qualities for De Zerbi's game. After Conte, possible new Made in Italy in Premier [emoji634] #sportitalia [MENTION=12280]tvd[/MENTION]ellosport
Are you saying Zdenek Zeman would be the second best option?

Always easier to search with Google.
eg. Type into Google:

First 2 hits are posts this week and the 3rd is the 2019 suggestion.

No my family in my mothers side are from Foggia, RDZ was not only a good player for them but akso a good manager too. My uncle still follows them in the equivalent of the Italian 3rd division. Most of the fans from around thar area would normally follow Napoli and then Foggia as there 2nd team.
Foggia have only a few years ago celebrated their centenary, and have been bankrupt more x then they have been in the top league in Italy
Yup.. hence the mention of Zeman who got them promoted from Serie C to Serie A and then had a couple of top half-finishes in Serie A. In their first Serie A season with Zeman they outscored every team except the title winners. True legend that man. Proper crazy as well.

This from Calciomercato reported on 10th Sep

Who knew De Zerbi is best friends with Guardiola? Interesting also that Aleksander Kolarov has just retired from the game and no doubt looking for a job reported as possible assistant to De Zerbi.
"Pep Guardiola, Daniele De Rossi with Aleksander Kolarov , who could be his deputy in his future career as a coach, and other lesser-known protagonists of our football such as Antonio Gagliardi , tactician of Mancini 's national team and of Pirlo 's Juve .

Exclamation marks indicate you're shouting. Take a chill pill and relax

I thought capitals were shouting, exclamation mark means his voice went up a couple of octaves with an eye roll

Well if RDZ asked Pep what he thinks about the PL and Brighton, I'm sure we will get a very favourable nod. Yes it's Potter's style that caught the eye, but it's also that we have a ready made team for him to play this way.
Team RDZ here!
Come on Uncle Tone and Aunty Barbs, you know you want to.
