Brighton manager Dario Vidosic announces departure | OneFootball

Brighton & Hove Albion manager Dario Vidosic has left the club shortly before the start of the 2026/27 season.

The Australian took over Brighton at the start of the 2024/25 season and helped improve the team, culminating in the Seagulls' first ever FA Cup final appearance.

However, Vidosic has now stepped down with journalist Emma Sanders of BBC Sport suggesting that he could make the switch to NWSL side Angel City.

"I have loved my time at the Albion and am proud of what we have achieved together," Vidosic said about his departure. "Leaving has been a difficult decision, but I believe it is the right time for me and my family to begin a new chapter.

"I would like to thank the players, staff and supporters for their support throughout my time at the club and wish everyone associated with Albion every success in the future."

Brighton are believed to have lined up former Real Sociedad head coach Arturo Ruiz as his replacement.
