Sami Hyypia: Brighton manager resigns after one win in 18 games



Sami Hyypia has resigned from his role as manager of Championship strugglers Brighton & Hove Albion after just six months in charge of the Sussex club.

The Seagulls, who drew 1-1 at Wolves on Saturday, are 22nd in the table after a run of one win in 18 league games.

Former Liverpool and Finland defender Hyypia, 41, took charge at the Amex Stadium in June on a three-year deal.

However, he only won six of his 26 games in charge, with three of those victories coming in the League Cup.

"Sami offered his resignation, and we reluctantly accepted earlier today," confirmed chairman Tony Bloom.

Assistant boss Nathan Jones is expected to be named as caretaker manager of the side.

"Sami has worked extremely hard since joining the club last summer," added Bloom.

"Despite some good performances, including most recently at Wolves, results haven't gone as well as we all had hoped and expected.

"Sami is an incredibly honourable man. He remains a hugely respected and very popular figure at our club. He has decided to step down for the benefit of the team and the club.

We are all very disappointed, but we respect Sami's decision and we all wish him well for the future."

Sky Bet Championship: Brighton sack head of football operations David Burke

Brighton have removed head of football operations David Burke with immediate effect, following a meeting with club chairman Tony Bloom.

Burke leaves after three years of service with the club, now 22nd in the Championship with just 19 points from 22 games.

Sami Hyypia resigned from his post of Brighton manager earlier this week and the chairman felt now was the right time to make the change.

Bloom said in a club statement: "With Sami Hyypia's resignation earlier this week, we felt it was right for the club to re-evaluate the football set-up.

"David's been with us for three years, and I would like to thank him for all his hard work and endeavour on behalf of the club during that time.

"There is no question he has done an exceptional job in helping with the design of the American Express Elite Football Performance Centre and in putting in place a first-class infrastructure in the football, academy and sports science areas of the club.

"David's work in helping to establish the club's first-ever academy and to quickly gain category one status in the new world of the EPPP guidelines is highly appreciated by myself and by everyone at the club.

"He's also helped to put in place our scouting department, and his work in all these areas will stand us in very good stead for the future."
