Brighton has a new leader at its helm: Fabian Hurzeler, who, at just 31, now holds the title of the youngest manager in Premier League history. The American-born German has an impressive backstory, having transitioned from a soccer player to a coach in his early 20s.

During his presentation as Brighton manager, Hurzeler aimed to quell any doubts about his age and inexperience. "I am a young man, but I'm not a young coach," he emphasized. Hurzeler presented a confident outlook, describing his footballing philosophy as a blend of the styles of Thomas Tuchel and Jurgen Klopp, mingled with his personal approach of balancing courage with humility.

Having successfully led St. Pauli to the Bundesliga, Hurzeler now steps into the fiercely competitive Premier League. He is drawn to Brighton's analytical and data-driven approach and is enthusiastic about working with seasoned players like Lewis Dunk and James Milner. Chairman Tony Bloom expressed strong confidence in Hurzeler, stating that he was the best fit for the club.
