Ruiz led Real Sociedad to Champions League qualifying

Vidosic frontrunner to take over NWSL side Angel City

Brighton have confirmed the appointment of Arturo Ruiz from Real Sociedad as a replacement head coach for Dario Vidosic.

The Women’s Super League club have acted quickly to replace Vidosic, whose departure was confirmed earlier on Friday, just over a week before the start of the new Women’s Super League campaign. Vidosic is understood to be the leading candidate for the head coach role at the NWSL side Angel City and although Brighton are disappointed to lose the Croatia-born Australian, they are understood to be very happy to be able to bring in Ruiz on a three-year deal, subject to a work permit being finalised.
