Brighton has appointed Fabian Hurzeler as their new manager, a move highly praised by St Pauli fan Tom. The young manager, who led St Pauli to the Bundesliga 2 title last season, is 31 and the youngest ever full-time boss of a Premier League team.
According to Tom, Hurzeler’s style of football is exciting and one that the St Pauli fans have fallen in love with over the past 18 months. Although the fans are devastated to lose him, they believe that Brighton is gaining a key asset with his appointment. They emphasize the importance of Hurzeler’s arrival for Brighton and the impact it will have on St Pauli.
Brighton chairman Tony Bloom has highlighted Hurzeler’s alignment with the club’s style, and Tom agrees. He recounts a moment when Hurzeler was sent off during a match and instead of leaving for the tunnel, he sat with the ultras in the stands to watch the game. This gesture endeared him to the fans, who still hold him in high regard as he leaves St Pauli in a strong position.
Tom expresses hope that Hurzeler will produce similar results for Brighton as he did for St Pauli, recognizing the potential for success under his leadership. The appointment of Hurzeler has generated excitement among fans and observers alike, with high expectations for his tenure at Brighton.
