Brighton's performance has been outstanding in recent years, and this season's opening rank is even higher, but the team's leader Parker was suddenly poached by Chelsea, making the team to look for another leader. It has been reported that Brighton are looking at Norwegian leader Lottsen, who has a lot of similarities with Parker's coaching style and background, and is regarded as Parker's second generation.
Before coming to the UK, Parker taught in Sweden for 7 years, taking Ostersins from the 4th tier to the Swedish Premier League and doing well in Europe. Brighton is looking at 53-year-old Lautchen, who coached the newly-promoted Podkylint in 2018, but has dominated the Norwegian Premier League for two consecutive years, 2020 and 2021, and made it to the last eight of the UEFA Europa League last season, which is quite a feat.
