Brighton Football Club has officially named Fabian Hürzeler as their new head coach, making him the youngest permanent manager in the Premier League era at just 31 years old. Hürzeler successfully led St Pauli to Bundesliga promotion last month before joining Brighton.
Replacing Roberto De Zerbi, Hürzeler signed a contract with Brighton until 2027 after establishing himself at St Pauli. He expressed his excitement to be part of Brighton’s ambitious vision and their recent progress, aiming to continue their success.
Having played for Bayern Munich’s academy and managing lower league teams, Hürzeler’s coaching style aligns with Brighton’s desired play style, as remarked by Chairman Tony Bloom. His experience with the German federation at different levels adds to his coaching pedigree, sparking anticipation for the upcoming season.
