'Brighton back on an even keel and ready to move forward'
- Published
Now the curtain has come down on the 2025-26 Premier League campaign, here is my end-of-season review - with a look back to what I predicted in August.
Prediction: 11th
Fabian Hurzeler's future at Brighton looked bleak mid-season, when fan discontent surfaced at Amex Stadium, but this fiercely driven and competitive young German coach turned it around to not only take Brighton into Europe, but also sign a new contract through to 2029.
After a period of uncertainty, this superbly run club now look back on an even keel and ready to move forward once more - both in Europe and domestically.
What I said in August: "Brighton are always pleasing on the eye and they will not take a backwards step under Hurzeler. Another decent season awaits."
