STEVEN SCHUMACHER is relishing the prospect of locking horns with Roberto De Zerbi and is aiming to emulate him as a Premier League manager.
At 39, the Stoke boss is regarded as one of the brightest young managerial prospects in the game.
The former Everton youth player impressively guided Plymouth into the Championship last season, going up as League One champions.
Now he has taken on the challenge of reviving the Potters, who have struggled since relegation from the Premier League in 2018.
A stern test awaits in the FA Cup third round against Brighton today.
