Brighton and Hove Albion boss Roberto De Zerbi could face FA action for recent referee comments.

The Italian raised eyebrows after his team's 1-1 draw with Sheffield United on Sunday.

De Zerbi went into a tirade regarding referees, stating that he did not like 80 percent of them in England.

De Zerbi said: “I am honest and clear and I don't like 80 percent of referees in England.

“It's not a new thing. I don't like them or their behavior on the pitch."

Per The Sun, the FA will now be assessing these comments and seeking further comment from De Zerbi.

The Italian will be asked to explain himself, as the FA ponders whether to bring about charges.

Many PGMOL insiders believe that De Zerbi should not have attacked the referees to this extent.
