Fabian Hurzeler was named the new Brighton Manager in mid-June 2024; he replaced Roberto De Zerbi, who left at the end of the 2023-24 season. The 31-year-old American, who is now the youngest EPL manager ever , has previously led two clubs in Germany, FC Pipinsried and St Pauli. His most notable achievement was guiding St Pauli back into the Bundesliga in 2024, a feat he accomplished within just eighteen months of taking charge. His appointment fits the profile of previous Seagulls managers Potter and De Zerbi but if another change of manager does comes at the Amex, the best betting sites will again have all the next Brighton and Hove Albion manager odds.

Who Will Be The Next Brighton and Hove Albion Manager
The board and owner Tony Bloom have shown the type of manager they favour. I think Seagulls fans can expect "more of the same with future appointments. .
Graham Potter
If the board are pragmatic and the manager agreeable, then Graham Potter could return to the Amex. Of all the recent managers, it was Potter who enhanced their reputation as a side who were a joy to watch. Football managers do return (Zidane, Mourinho etc.), and if the timing is right, many fans will welcome back the man described by owner Tony Bloom as "an exceptional head coach and person".

Henrik Rydstrom
The Malmo FF manager has only managed in clubs in Sweden but is regarded, depending on who you listen to, as "an innovative coach trying something new" or " naive in thinking that the players need to express themselves on all parts of the pitch." However, in his first season at Malmo, the club won the Allsvenskan, the top league in the country, and it is possible that his anarchic tactics will continue the great work undertaken by De Zerbi and Potter.

Mauricio Pochettino
Similar to his predecessors at Chelsea, Pochettino's tenure at Stamford Bridge was unexpectedly cut short. He does have history on the South Coast having managed Southampton (Jan 2013-May 2014).
Kieran McKenna
The former Manchester United coach moved into management with League One side Ipswich Town in December 2021. In the following two seasons, he won back-to-back promotions for the East Anglian club all the way to the EPL, a remarkable achievement for the rookie manager. Naturally, this has alerted other clubs.

Francesco Farioli
The Italian Born Farioli has managed two clubs in Turkey and is currently the boss of the French Ligue 1 side, Nice. In his first season on the French Riviera Nice finished in 5th spot and qualified for the Europa League.
Xabi Alonso

Slightly more speculative is the former Liverpool and Spanish midfielder Xavi Alonso. We suspect he would at some time like to manage a club in England, having spent his best years as a player in this country. He is currently managing Bayer Leverkusen in Germany after three years with the Real Sociedad B team in Spain.
Franck Haise
The former manager of French Ligue 1 side Lens moved to Nice in July 2024.
All football watchers have been impressed by their recruitment and dynamic style of play under a relatively rookie manager.
In the 2022-23 season whilst at Lens he was Ligue 1 Manager of the Year.
Haise is on the radar of many English clubs.
Bo Svensson
The former central defender is currently in charge of German side Mainz.
Appointed in January 2021 in his first season the club finished in a respectable 8th place.
He said he was flattered by talk of him managing in the EPL.
Kjetil Knutsen
The Norwegian was the initial favourite for the Brighton job before De Zerbi was appointed.
We don't know whether Knutsen was interviewed but he is regularly quoted by bookmakers in managerial markets.
The reason being is his current team FK Bodo/Glimt has won back-to-back Eliteserien titles in Norway and are now regularly seen playing in European club competitions, giving him and them a much higher profile.
Andrew Crofts
Image: Brighton & Hove Albion
Crofts was the interim head coach between Graham Potter leaving and Roberto De Zerbi arriving.
At under 40 and with limited big game experience it would be a stretch to see Crofts in charge, but the Brighton chairman took a chance on Graham Potter and look how well that worked out.
