Fabian Hurzeler’s latest Brighton season-review interview has sharpened the focus on what comes next at the Amex.
Albion’s official channels released the full sit-down this week, with the timing significant. Brighton have already banked a place in the 2026/27 UEFA Conference League, and their European pre-season planning is already taking shape, but the next step is turning a strong domestic finish into a squad plan that survives Europe, Premier League pressure and a compressed pre-season.
Fabian Hurzeler Faces A Different Brighton Test
This is no longer just about proving Brighton were right to trust the Premier League’s youngest permanent head coach. Hurzeler has moved beyond survival of the early noise and into a more demanding phase: maintaining standards while the fixture list becomes heavier and opponents have more evidence on his side.
The club have already framed the summer around depth, succession planning and specific profiles. Costinha has arrived at right-back, defensive reinforcements have been pursued and Brighton’s European calendar is now part of the selection equation rather than a distant reward.
That makes the season-review interview more than a reflective media piece. It is a reset point before pre-season, with Hurzeler’s message carrying obvious weight for senior players, new arrivals and academy prospects trying to force their way into the European picture.
For Brighton, the challenge is clear: the campaign was a success, but the next one will test whether the squad has been built to repeat it under far greater strain.
