Fabian Hurzeler: Premier League Manager of the Month

Fabian Hurzeler, at just 31, has been named Premier League's manager of the month for August. He led Brighton & Hove Albion to an unbeaten start, garnering seven points in three games. Hurzeler surpassed Manchester City's Guardiola and Liverpool's Slot to claim the award.

Fabian Hurzeler has been honored as the Premier League's manager of the month for August after guiding Brighton & Hove Albion to an impressive unbeaten start this season. In his debut month, the 31-year-old led the team to seven points from three league games, with wins over Everton away and Manchester United at home, followed by a draw at Arsenal.

The award's recipient was determined through a combination of public votes and a panel of football experts. The German manager, the youngest ever to receive the accolade, outperformed nominees Manchester City's Pep Guardiola and Liverpool's Arne Slot, whose teams achieved a perfect start with nine points each. Hurzeler remarked, 'I think it's always nice to win a trophy and it confirms your work. It's not only my work though – it's the work from the whole club, it's the work from my staff members, the work from my players.'

'In the end, all who are working in the club and our togetherness won this trophy. I'm really happy and now it's about winning the next trophy,' he added. Last season, Australian manager Ange Postecoglou secured this award during his first month at Tottenham Hotspur.
