On June 15, 2024, Brighton and Hove Albion boldly went against the appointment of a great name manager to replace Roberto De Zerbi and instead announced that Fabian Hurzeler, then only 31 years old, would lead the infidels in a new era.

though trickster had made a name for himself in Germany after led St. Pauli To promote in the Bundesliga after a 13-year absence, it was an unknown amount on the English coast.

The youngest manager ever in the history of the Premier League, his defense against England in St. Paul’s greatest hour and had never reached a side of high flight everywhere would say that it was inevitable that all eyes were again at Amex Stadium during the 2024/25 season.

Its BrightonTony Bloom owner was bitten more than could chew?

Owner Tony Bloom had shown himself to be a sharp judge of character with the appointments of Graham Potter and ZeroAlthough one could not help think that he might have bitten more than he could chew by hiring Hurzeler.

Not that the manager at the entrance was concerned.

“My age is a big theme. I’m a young boy, but I’m not a young coach. I call myself friendly authority. Football is my passion. I try to convince my players who use the power of ideas,” He said at his opening press conference before the start of the current season.

“I really like Brighton’s DNA – it’s a very analytical, based on data. I like style, playing boldly. I know they have achieved great things. It’s an honor to be part of it.

“I’m really excited. We have new players with great potential, and the elderly who have achieved a lot of things.”

Brighton’s positive future while Europe’s chances fade

With the current Premier League season soon ending, Brighton currently find themselves in the ninth position in 51 points.

Under the Italian last season they ended up with 48 points, so if nothing else Hurzeler has already exceeded the points in the total manager who was praised by all and loved by the way in which his teams played football.

Fifty -six goals scored this season are also better (by one) than in 2023/24, with four 2024/25 campaign matches still playing.

European football next season is everything, but from the question that can affect that standard of Hurzeler players and the Brighton board can persuade them to join the next season, however, in a more positive note, it allows the manager and his players to continue to grow without the world’s media bright.

Those Brighton fans, who may be disappointed by the way this season has planned would do well to take a look at the last seasons as a comparison.

Hurzeler’s record is already better than De Zerbi and Potter in some respects

Hurzeler has achieved a 13 reliable wins in his 34 English flight games to date. This is just a fewer than De Zerbi during his first season (2022/23) at the club, and one more than his second campaign there.

It may be very surprised that the German League record is already better than any of the three seasons of Graham Potter on the south coast.

The manager now West Ham won only nine games in each of his first two seasons and 12 in his last campaign before moving to Chelsea, which means that the percentage of profit 38.2% of Hurzeler exceeds 23.7% of potter (twice) and 31.6%.

Nine losses so far this season is better than 11 and 14 of De Zerbi, and 15, 15 and 11 of the potter, while the 12 Hurzeler attractions are equal to Italian from last season and is only shy of the English and 11.

Perhaps just as impressive, his current task has won both of his premier League matches against Manchester United this season, and has withdrawn two matches his team has played against Arsenal.

In fact, the only team to beat Brighton in both games this season is Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace, though the Champions Liverpool could join that highly chosen group if they were to triumph in their match on May 19th.

Brighton style helped to perpetuate narrative despite poor results

The only party Brighton of De Zerbi managed to beat in both cases they played are Southampton, while the Potter side had only a 100% record against Brentford.

There were clear moments in the possessions of the two managers before the arrival of Hurzeler who gave the notion that there was a team and a club going to the places, but it was the narrative around the club that helped to perpetuate it.

Brighton played some very smart and exciting things under De Zerbi and Potter, for this there is no denial, however, the results being achieved were in Oods with the way they were being perceived at the time.

Hurzeler has improved in the data of his ancestors in almost every way, while still holding a way to play that is extremely pleasant in the eye.

He has not forgotten his principles in following the success of the Premier League, and this is probably the biggest compliment to the 32-year-old.

The team responded greatly to Hurzeler’s work

It would be so easy for him to come to a new league in a new place and seek answers away from the football style he knew.

For his big loan, he had the character of the character to refrain from the work of the work that took him to work in Brighton in the first place – and his team responded.

His transfers have also been well -thought -out scholars, by agreement for both Georgia Rutter AND Yankuba minteh Especially trying to be a great success.

With both the manager and the seemingly happy club with the way arrangement worked during the first season together, it is difficult to imagine anything other than a bright future for Hurzeler and Brighton.

Tony Bloom’s vision can be a plan for other clubs that will follow in the future.
