Brighton make Hurzeler, 31, youngest Premier League manager

Hurzeler, who guided St Pauli to German football's Bundesliga second division title last season, has signed a contract with the south coast club until 2027. The Texas-born Hurzeler will now be in charge of a Seagulls squad where several players, including James Milner, 38, Danny Welbeck, 33, and Lewis Dunk, 32 are all older than him. But Brighton chairman Tony Bloom said Hurzeler's work in taking St Pauli to the German top-flight made him a "standout candidate" to succeed Roberto De Zerbi, who left the Amex Stadium at the end of last season.
