The 33-year-old manager, who joined Brighton at the start of last season, is on the cusp of securing European football for his team. With three rounds remaining in the season, they trail seventh-placed Brentford by just one point.
“I absolutely love working for this club and living in the city, and I’m thrilled we’ve agreed on a new contract. It’s an honor for the club to commit to me long-term, which only reinforces my desire to succeed in our shared long-term vision.
From the outset, our focus has always been on building an identity, developing the team, and raising our standards daily. I’m proud of what we’ve achieved so far, and I’m even more excited about what lies ahead,” Hürzeler was quoted by DPA.
Hürzeler became the youngest permanent manager in Premier League history when he replaced Roberto De Zerbi in June 2024 at the age of 31.
“Since his appointment, Fabian has continued the club’s progress from previous seasons with consistent performances on the pitch, successfully building a distinct playing identity. This season, he has built upon the foundations laid during his first season, where he guided us to an impressive eighth-place finish.
During his tenure as head coach, the team has demonstrated resilience, intensity, and control. With three matches left in the season, we are pushing for a strong finish,” said Brighton chairman Tony Bloom regarding the German coach.
