Brighton midfielder Adam Lallana will sensationally make the step up to interim coach this weekend for their trip to Bournemouth.
It comes after permanent boss Graham Potter was announced as the new Chelsea boss on a five-year deal.
But the 34-year-old will now support Andrew Crofts as interim head coach for their trip to the Vitality Stadium this weekend.
'While our attention is now on appointing Graham's successor as head coach our immediate focus, of course, is on Saturday's game at Bournemouth and supporting Andrew Crofts as interim head coach,' Brighton chairman Tony Bloom said.
