Managers on the rise: Fabian Hurzeler - an inventive Premier League tactician at the age of 33

During this international break, The Athletic is publishing a series of profiles on highly rated managers from across Europe. Porto’s Francesco Farioli started us off before we moved to Spain with Rayo Vallecano’s Inigo Perez. We examined promotion-chasing Kim Hellberg at Middlesbrough, then jumped over to Serie A to look at how Cesc Fabregas was performing with Como and to dig into 30-year-old Carlos Cuesta at Parma.In the Bundesliga, we’ve focused on Hoffenheim’s Christian Ilzer and Bayern Munich assistant Rene Maric. Now it’s time to talk about a young German who is already familiar to Premier League fans…Without risk, Brighton would not be the established Premier League club they are today.Advertisement
