EPL’s ‘youngest ever manager’ emerges

Brighton open talks with ’31-year-old’ leader

After parting ways with Roberto De Zerbi (44-Italy), Brighton are looking at Fabian Hürzeler (31-Germany) as their new head coach. Brighton have been impressed with Hürzler’s leadership of St. Pauli at a young age.

On July 7, British media outlet Sky Sports reported, “Brighton are interested in the 31-year-old as a possible replacement for De Jervi. If he were to move to England from Germany, he would become the youngest manager in Premier League history,” Sky Sports reported.

Brighton, who have played a youthful, attacking style of soccer under De Jervy in recent seasons, parted ways with him by mutual consent at the end of this season. De Jong had a falling out with the hierarchy over recruitment, which he was unable to resolve and soon left the club. Brighton, who have been looking for alternatives since De Jervi’s departure, approached Hürzeler.

After bouncing around the lower leagues as a player, Hürzler put his playing career behind him early on to pursue a coaching career. He has been with St. Pauli since 2020 after gaining experience with the German age-group national team, starting with the Pippinsliga in 2016. Starting out as an assistant coach, Hirzeler’s leadership skills were recognized when 먹튀검증 he was promoted to full-time head coach in 2022.

Similar to De Jervy, Hürzeler plays an active and aggressive style of soccer. He favors a pressing style that goes to the extreme of having a high number of attacking players and quickly shutting down the opposition from the high ground. In fact, Hürzler perfected his tactics by analyzing the football of Brighton manager Graham Potter (49-England) and De Jong.

Florian Plettenberg, a reporter for the German edition of Sky Sports, said on social media on Sunday, “Hürzeler was a fan of Brighton and analyzed the football of De Jervi and Porter when they were in charge. He also interned at Brighton for a short time last year.”

There is reportedly no specific release clause in Hürzeler’s contract. However, there is an agreement that discussions can take place if a top club comes 카지노사이트 순위 along. “There is no release clause for Hürzeler, but there is an agreement that if a top club comes in, discussions can take place,” Plettenberg said. This discussion has now taken place,” Plettenberg added.

If he takes over at Brighton, he will become the youngest Premier League manager to take charge of a club. Ryan Mason (32-England) previously took charge of Tottenham at the age of 29 following the sacking of Jose Mourinho (61-Portugal), but he was an interim manager. The current record is held by Attilio Lombardo (58-Italy), who took charge of Crystal Palace in 1998 at the age of 32.
