Fabian Hurzeler: United interest sparks strong Brighton response
Manchester United have been on a roll under caretaker manager Michael Carrick, who remains an option for the full-time position at Old Trafford. However, that has not stopped the Red Devils from being linked to several managerial candidates ahead of the summer.
INEOS have had some poor luck with their managerial appointments and will be hoping to get third time lucky this year. Former head coach Ruben Amorim was appointed by Unitedâs minority owners after a lot of background work, but his tenure turned out to be a disappointment.
The Portuguese head coach had an underwhelming 14-month spell at the Theatre of Dreams, and left in January with the clubâs top-four hopes uncertain. Amorimâs future was also subject to speculation last summer after a 15th-placed finish in the Premier League last season.
The Portuguese survived the summer but had an underwhelming start to the new campaign, prompting speculation about his future. It was during that time that Brighton & Hove Albion manager Fabian Hurzeler was named as a possible replacement for the former Sporting manager.
Hurzelerâs rise at the Amex
Hurzeler arrived at the Amex in the summer of 2024, becoming the youngest permanent coach in Premier League history. The German soon added to his reputation as one of the most exciting young coaches in the world, and transformed Brighton into a well-drilled attacking unit.
Hurzeler has already displayed tactical flexibility, with his team playing intense attacking football and working extremely hard on the pitch. United had no answer to his tactics earlier this year in the FA Cup third round, losing the game 2-1 and exiting the tournament.
