Fabian Hürzeler led St Pauli to Bundesliga promotion in May.

Fabian Hürzeler is looking forward to building on the ‘incredible progress’ Albion have made in recent years after he was appointed as our new men’s first-team head coach.

The 31-year-old will link up with the players at the beginning of July after being appointed on a contract until June 2027.

Fabian said, “I am absolutely thrilled to be the new head coach of Brighton & Hove Albion.

“After speaking to Tony [Bloom], Paul [Barber] and David [Weir] it was clear they are highly ambitious. Brighton have a unique history and a bold vision for the future so I am truly excited to be part of the project.

“The club has made incredible progress over the last few seasons and the aim is to continue building on that success."

He will become the youngest head coach in Premier League history at 31, having guided St Pauli to promotion to the Bundesliga in Germany in his first full season in charge.

“I am relishing the opportunity to coach in the Premier League, and I can’t wait to meet the players, staff and, of course, the fans," he added.
