When asked his thoughts, Tony Bloom said: "Roberto has been a great coach for Brighton for the last six months and I hope he can continue this, and his ambitions are exactly where I want them!"

Eventually, we did speak to the man himself Roberto Di Matteo, he stated: "I am pleased t have signed a new contract with the club. I love working in England and I hope I can help progress Brighton. I am hoping to finish in the playoffs and maybe even aim for automatic promotion. We'll see!"

He said: "Of course, every transfer window you look to improve your squad, we hope to bring in some new fresh and young faces, sell some of the veteran and I would like to build a young team for the upcoming season!"

Also, his philosophy of young players has been proved as him the Chairman Tony Bloom have agreed to improve the youth recruitment budget. This mean the club will spend more money on young prospects for the club.

Cheers, pal.

Really great story so far. One thing I'd say is you put too many exclamation marks in, could get annoying but otherwise, quality.

Class results, especially the last one.
