Fabian Hurzeler has been named the Barclays Manager of the Month for August 2024, following Brighton & Hove Albion’s unbeaten start to the 2024/25 Premier League season.
Under his leadership, Brighton secured two wins and a draw, including a 3-0 victory over Everton, a 2-1 win against Manchester United, and a 1-1 draw at Arsenal, finishing the month in second place.
Hurzeler, 31, expressed his gratitude, attributing the achievement to the collective efforts of the club, his staff, and the players. He is now the youngest permanent head coach in Premier League history to win the Manager of the Month award.
This accolade makes Hurzeler the first manager since Ange Postecoglou in August 2023 to win the award in their debut month in the Premier League.
Additionally, he is the first Brighton manager to win the award since Chris Hughton in February 2018.
Hurzeler was chosen over other nominees, including Mikel Arteta, Pep Guardiola, and Arne Slot, after a combination of public votes and selections from a panel of football experts.
Manchester City’s Erling Haaland was named the EA SPORTS Player of the Month for August 2024.
