“Next Brighton Manager: Comparing Fabian Hurzeler to Young Premier League Bosses from Chelsea, Norwich, and Fulham”.
Brighton are poised to appoint the talented young German coach Fabian Hurzeler as their new manager. The 31-year-old, currently with St Pauli, has been in discussions with the Seagulls and is expected to be announced later this week as the successor to former boss Roberto De Zerbi.
Hurzeler has made a strong impression early in his career, leading St Pauli to the 2. Bundesliga title and securing promotion to the Bundesliga in his first full season in charge.
A former Germany international youth coach, Hurzeler is seen as one of the brightest young coaching talents and will be tasked with guiding Brighton in the Premier League next season.
Brighton boasts a good mix of youth and experience in their squad, with players like Kaoru Mitoma, Jack Hinshelwood, Evan Ferguson, Julio Enciso, and Tariq Lamptey expected to be fit for the new season after dealing with injuries last term.
Hurzeler will also aim to win over seasoned professionals like James Milner, Lewis Dunk, and Danny Welbeck—all older than him—and maximize the potential of emerging talents such as midfielder Carlos Baleba and left-back Valentin Barco.
It’s a significant challenge for an unproven Premier League manager, but chairman and owner Tony Bloom is known for bold decisions, with a strong track record in selecting managers.
If appointed, the former Bayern Munich II defensive midfielder will become the youngest permanent manager in Premier League history. The current top five youngest permanent managers are: 1. Chris Coleman (32) – Fulham, 2. Gianluca Vialli (33) – Chelsea, 3. Andre Villas-Boas (33) – Chelsea, 4. Ruud Gullit (34) – Chelsea, 5. Alex Neil (34) – Norwich.
