Brighton Women prepare to meet Chelsea this Sunday in a key WSL match. Coach Dario Vidosic says his team will play on the front foot and push for a third straight win.
Dario Vidosic, head coach of Brighton's women's team, has a clear plan for how his side should play. He prefers a pressing, attacking approach rather than sitting back to defend.
Vidosic demonstrated his methods at the club's AMEX training base, where the facilities are arranged to support team work and daily routines. The club publicly states its aim to reach the top four in the WSL, and the match against Chelsea will be a major test of that ambition.
Brighton have shown they can score against strong opponents and have found the net in recent meetings with Chelsea. Vidosic stresses an aggressive style that asks players to seize the moment in attack.
The team are close to winning three league matches in a row for the first time since late 2021 and have been productive at home this year, with Kiko Seike among the leading scorers for the side.
Since joining Brighton in 2024, Vidosic has worked to build stability and close bonds across the squad. He is a hands-on coach who makes sure he is visible at training and during team activities.
He asks players to share pieces of their home lives and cultures to help the group feel secure and connected. Vidosic says making training enjoyable helps players perform better on match day.
Brighton want to compete with the best clubs in the league and are trying to narrow the gap with the top sides. Vidosic admits young players need more game time and hard moments to learn and grow.
With the January transfer window approaching, the club plans to look for additions, especially in midfield and attack, to increase competition for places and strengthen the squad depth.
The game against Chelsea is a significant step but not the only measure of Brighton’s progress. Vidosic’s leadership aims to keep the team on a steady path toward their long-term goal of reaching the top of the table.
