[Albion] Fabian Hürzeler **SINGED 15/06/2024**

Interesting read, thanks!

Thought this article from the same blog on FH’s tactics was a good read too:

Der Hürzeler-Fußball - MillernTon

Seit Anfang 2023 ist Fabian Hürzeler Cheftrainer des FC St. Pauli und steht für Erfolg. Aber was ist die Basis dafür? Was ist das "System Hürzeler"? Wir blicken tief hinein.

millernton.de

Interesting articles on millerton.de, with detailed analysis of Hurzeler’s FCSP tactics, some of which are adaptations of de Zerbi’s own. The biggest changes are defensively, as a unit, definitely an area where BHA need to improve. Hopefully Hurzeler will bring a good balance between attack and defence. He seems to be a perfect fit for the club and was probably the number 1 candidate the whole time. Just had to wait for Chelsea to make their managerial appointment first

You can’t concede in every match and expect to pick up a sufficient number of wins to reach European competitions every season. Breathless entertainment at times with de Zerbi football, but a more balanced attacking/defensive approach is probably exactly what is required for continued success. Pair Hurzeler with a reduction in injuries, with help from the new medical team, and it could be a winning recipe for next season

If we decided to let him have them all.

You're not dictating it.
You're saying Fabian, we have a pretty decent staff budget, so if there's people you've met on coaching courses, people you've played with or been coached by, people you admire, let's get them in.

If we'd appointed McKenna, his staff would have been League 1 last year.

McKenna's Assistant Manager used to be Assistant Manager at Man United!

Wer zur Hölle ist Brighton & Hove Albion!? - MillernTon

Was ist das für ein Club aus England, der Fabian Hürzeler vom FC St. Pauli verpflichten möchte? Ein Blick auf einen etwas anderen Profifußballclub.

Who the HELL is Brighton ?

Nice article thanks

Let's agree to disagree. I could give you a thousand examples of managers who don't take their entire back room staff.

And the goalkeeping coach used to play for Crawley!

I'm not sure what we're disagreeing on.

You said the club might not let Hürzeler bring who he wants, to which I said that would be unusual.

I said the club might not want to let him bring all the staff from St Pauli. That was my original point. I've never said he will have staff forced on him, but even that i wouldn't rule out. We are meticulous in our research across all staff. Pretty sure we might suggest he wants to take someone we regard as the best whatever coach if we think they're available.
He's a rookie coach, we'd be mad not to give him the best tools possible to be a success.
Slot for instance has taken his number two and another coach with him but I know they've advertised for at least a new set piece coach and a fitness coach.

 

[Hiheidi]

Unlikely but could we tempt rosenior back as an assistant with the understanding he's free to go if offered a good managers job?

Probably not...

I am sure we will suggest that Crofts stays on as First Team Coach, like we did with De Zerbi (and Potter with Bruno before).

But if we are being firm with who he can have as part of his staff, that would be unsual.

I feel much better about us appointing this guy than McKenna having known nothing about either of them a couple of weeks ago

Sounds much more “Brighton”

 

[The Fits]

How sweet would it be to keep maldera (or bring him back !) likelihood, very low.

Absolutely love that guy.

Me too. It's weird but he just seems to fit. You can feel the excitement on here too. Really hope the players buy into it all.

 

[Flounce]

Absolutely love that guy.

Agree, I was impressed with him when RDZ was off job searching (allegedly) or having his teeth whitened

 

[dwayne]

Same old fab regurgitating

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Especially if they are called Chelsea.

Or, imagine the shocking adjustment required by Watford!

I would've been happy if we'd appointed him.

Former manager, knows the players and system, speaks really well too.

 

[Questions]

I find this clicky thing with other clubs very odd. We’ve been hating since the word dot.
It’s new.
I’ll get used to the love.

 

[Pliny the Gull]

Routine these days that newly appointed managers take a trusted backroom team with them if they can.
Crofts, knows club.
Milner, Dunky know the PL.
Gross, the German link.
Other than that, I would want people around who know the style from the get go.

Who has he managed? He’s also old enough to be FH’s father but I’d like to see him back in some form
