Brighton have identified Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna as their potential future manager if Roberto De Zerbi leaves the club.
The Italian manager is unsettled at the Premier League club after being linked with a move away from Brighton.
De Zerbi has been linked with a number of high-profile jobs this summer including Manchester United, Liverpool, AC Milan and Bayern Munich.
The Premier League club’s form has suffered in recent weeks with Brighton failing to win in their last six league games.
