From 'Sacked in the Morning' to New Contract - Why Fabian Hurzeler and Brighton Make Perfect Sense
The new deal rewards Hurzeler’s revival, with Brighton still in contention for European qualification after a winter slump and a 2-0 win at Brentford.
- On Thursday, Brighton coach Fabian Hürzeler signed a two-year contract extension through the 2028-29 season, which the Premier League club described as a new three-year contract.
- The turnaround follows a difficult winter run when fans chanted "You're getting sacked in the morning" after a loss to Crystal Palace; a 2-0 win at Brentford on February 21 sparked revival and placed Albion in European contention.
- Chairman Tony Bloom and chief executive Paul Barber maintained faith during mid-season struggles, with Bloom praising the team's "resilience, intensity and control" under the 33-year-old manager's leadership.
- "I absolutely love working for this club," Hürzeler said after agreeing to the extension; with three matches remaining, the team holds eighth place in the league.
- The German manager, who became the youngest permanent boss in Premier League history, reportedly drew interest from Bayer Leverkusen; this new deal protects Brighton as he continues his long-term project.
