"I feel privileged to be the head coach of Brighton," he said. "I'm proud to work with a great team of staff members, experts, and players who drive a positive culture."

Hurzeler emphasized the importance of a strong team identity and the values that Brighton represents.

"We're known for our great values, but we want to be known for our success," he said.

The manager also provided updates on his team, stating that Brajan Gruda is an option for the upcoming game and that Yasin Ayari is recovering well from a minor ankle injury.

Kaoru Mitoma is unlikely to feature due to an ankle injury, while Jack Hinshelwood is expected to start on the bench.

Hurzeler discussed the idea of the head coach watching from the stands, a strategy he observed while following the England rugby team.

"The head coach is always in the stand, observing and making decisions," he explained. "It's a different approach to the game, but one that might be the future of football."

Hurzeler is always looking for new ideas and strategies to improve his team, and he believes that learning from other sports and businesses is essential.

"You're living in a bubble," he said. "It's essential to bring in new ideas and perspectives to stay ahead."
