Brighton to appoint 31-year-old Hurzeler as coach

Brighton have commenced talks with St. Pauli to appoint 31-year-old Fabian Hurzeler as the new head coach of the Premier League club.

Brighton have secured a work permit for Hurzeler.

Hurzeler, who guided St. Pauli to promotion to the Bundesliga after winning last season’s Bundesliga 2 title, is set to replace the recently departed Roberto De Zerbi on the south coast this summer.

Brighton and St. Pauli are in talks about compensation for Hurzeler, who the Premier League side identified following their data-led analysis, according to Sky Sports.

If the Houston-born Hurzeler takes charge at the Amex, he will become the youngest manager in Premier League history.

Roberto De Zerbi quits as Brighton coach

It was reported on Friday that previous Brighton boss Graham Potter would not be returning for a second spell as head coach despite talks between him and the club.

The 2024 summer transfer window in the Premier League officially opens on Friday, June 14 – the same day that Euro 2024 commences.

The window will close on August 30 at 11 p.m. UK time in England and at midnight in Scotland.

The Premier League has brought forward Deadline Day to link up with the other major leagues in Europe. The closing dates were set following discussions with the leagues in England, Germany, Italy, Spain, and France.
