Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler agrees new long-term contract
Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler has agreed a new long-term contract with the club as they chase European qualification.
The 33-year-old German tactician had just 12 months remaining on his current deal at the Amex Stadium.
He will now sign extended terms to formally secure his managerial future on the south coast.
Immediate impact in English football
The former St Pauli manager originally arrived in Sussex at the beginning of last season following a successful spell in his homeland.
His transition to the Premier League has been remarkably smooth, seamlessly guiding his dynamic side into the upper echelons of the table.
The Seagulls currently sit eighth in the top-flight standings with 50 points already secured.
Chasing historic European ambitions
With only three pivotal matches remaining in the current campaign, his squad is actively seeking continental football for just the second time in their history.
Tying the highly-rated coach down on an extended basis provides crucial stability for the ambitious club ahead of a vital summer.
