Head coach Roberto de Zerbi will leave Brighton after their final Premier League match of the season at home to Manchester United on Sunday.
Chairman Tony Bloom said the Premier League club and De Zerbi "have mutually agreed" that the Italian will depart.
Former Shakhtar Donetsk coach De Zerbi, 44, joined the Seagulls in September 2022 on a four-year contract.
Brighton finished sixth last season, with the club’s highest ever top-flight finish securing European qualification for the first time in their history.
"Roberto has given us two excellent seasons of service in which he has led the club to new heights, not least our first ever European campaign which will live long in the memory of Albion fans," said Bloom.
"We have mutually agreed to end Roberto’s contract at a time that suits both parties allowing us the earliest opportunity to plan for next season, and Roberto plenty of time to consider his next move and his future."

I think De Zerbi is vastly overrated as a manager. He came in last year and carried on Potter’s exceptional work. This season it’s been a different story.
I know they lost MacAlister and Caicedo, but he did a poor job of replacing them and have been very much a miss this season. Potentially leaving while his stock is high.

Seems to be getting a familiar story? owners not having same philosophy playing wise as manager... this appears to be the reason behind this decision.

Disagree 100% - Take a look at where he took Sassuolo in his time in charge and what he made that club in transfers .
Agree he does not stay long at clubs - but clubs want him and he will be in demand - start of next season - wherever ...
