Hürzeler took over Brighton and became the youngest manager in Premier League history

Fabian Hürzeler has been appointed as the new head coach of Brighton, as announced by the club's official website. This appointment has made history in the English Premier League, as Hürzeler is now officially the youngest head coach in the league's history.

His contract runs until June 2027, although financial details were not disclosed. Fabian Hürzeler took charge of St. Pauli in 2022, marking his first stint as a head coach. Under his leadership, the club became champions of the 2. Bundesliga and secured promotion to the top division of German football. In the national cup, St. Pauli reached the quarter-finals but were eliminated by Düsseldorf in a penalty shootout.

Brighton were left without a head coach following the departure of Roberto De Zerbi at the end of the previous season, during which the club finished 11th in the Premier League. It was reported that the former Seagulls coach was close to reaching an agreement with French side Marseille.
