Brighton to Secure Hürzeler Long-Term

Brighton is set to extend head coach Fabian Hürzeler's contract, according to the BBC. Both parties have reportedly agreed to prolong the 33-year-old German specialist's current deal, which runs until 2027. Fabrizio Romano suggests the new agreement will add another three years to his tenure.

Hürzeler took the helm at the English club in the summer of 2024. Prior to this, he managed St. Pauli and was part of the German youth national team's coaching staff.

After 35 matches this season, Brighton sits eighth in the Premier League standings with 50 points. The Seagulls are just two points shy of sixth place, giving them a strong chance to compete for a spot in European competitions next season.
