Bo Svensson could take over as Brighton & Hove Albion coach as Graham Potter’s successor.
Bo Svensson arouses other interest. The FSV Mainz 05 coach is considered a candidate for Brighton & Hove Albion.
After the Seagulls lost their trainer Graham Potter to Chelsea in the past few weeks, they had to look for a coach themselves. Alongside Roberto De Zerbi and Kjetil Knutsen, Bo Svensson is also on the Premier League club’s shortlist. That reported The Athletic.
There is said to have been no direct contact between Svensson and Brighton to date. But the Dane caught the interest of the Seagulls.
This circumstance is not surprising, after all, Svensson has done an excellent job at Bruchweg so far. After his arrival in winter 2021, he led the then defeated 05ers to stay up in the league, before the ex-professional finished in a strong eighth place with FSV last season.
This season, Mainz are even sixth after six matchdays.
Of course, it is still unclear whether Christian Heidel and Co. are even willing to release Svensson in the middle of the season. The 43-year-old still has a contract until 2024.
