Brighton back Hürzeler despite Six-Game winless run

Fabian Hürzeler is not under immediate threat at Brighton & Hove Albion despite a sharp dip in form, according to reports in Germany.

SportBILD claim there are “no doubts” internally about the 32-year-old’s position, even as Brighton slide to 14th in the Premier League table following a difficult run of results.

The Seagulls are winless in their last six league matches and have recorded just one victory in their previous 13 outings across competitions.

Recent defeats have intensified scrutiny. A 1-0 home loss to rivals Crystal Palace increased tension among supporters, while a 3-0 FA Cup defeat to Liverpool further dented confidence.

Sections of the home crowd voiced frustration after recent setbacks, but Hürzeler has publicly stated he does not feel pressure from the club’s hierarchy.

SportBILD’s report supports that stance, indicating Brighton’s leadership remain focused on squad strengthening rather than managerial change. The German outlet referenced ongoing recruitment discussions, including renewed efforts to sign FC Köln winger Said El-Mala, as evidence that planning continues with Hürzeler in mind.

Having followed Brighton’s structural model in recent seasons, the club have generally favoured stability and long-term evaluation over reactive decisions. However, it remains too early to rule out summer reassessment if performances fail to improve.

While no immediate dismissal is anticipated, the end-of-season review process may carry weight if league position stagnates.

Brighton have previously opted for structured managerial transitions rather than mid-season upheaval. Roberto De Zerbi’s departure came at the conclusion of a campaign rather than during a downturn, illustrating the club’s measured approach.

For now, internal messaging suggests confidence remains intact. Whether that holds through the final stretch of fixtures could determine the broader narrative.

Brighton face a pivotal run of league fixtures that could stabilise their season or deepen concerns. A return to consistent performances would likely quiet external criticism.

Much will depend on whether results align with the club’s long-term project before the summer planning phase begins.

Will Brighton’s patience pay off, or does summer bring a different conversation?
