"I find it remarkable" – Brighton star clearly in love and expecting more

Groß praises Brighton manager Hürzeler's success in the Premier League at a young age, calling him one of the league's best and noting his continued development.

Pascal Groß has expressed his admiration for Brighton manager Fabian Hürzeler, calling it remarkable that someone so young has achieved such success in the Premier League. Hürzeler, 31 when he joined Brighton in 2024, is the youngest manager in Premier League history and has impressed in his first two seasons, finishing eighth both times while delivering European football last year. This season, Brighton sit third after eight games.

Groß told Sky Germany that Hürzeler brings an outstanding combination of modern football principles and traditional values. "For that, you need not only outstanding expertise but also character, personality, and humanity," Groß said. "The principles he instils in us make it easier for us to play football."

The Brighton midfielder believes Hürzeler is already among the Premier League's elite managers and sees room for further improvement. "The consistency alone is remarkable. To come here at his age, finish eighth twice, and keep developing the team—even as key players frequently leave the club—is truly extraordinary," Groß concluded. Hürzeler has recently been linked with the Manchester United job.
