Fabian Hurzeler, at 32 years old, is the youngest manager in the Premier League, but his lack of experience does not hinder him from having a good season with the Brighton team.

One of the pivotal turning points this season was after the humiliating 0-7 away defeat to Nottingham Forest.

The Times revealed that after that match, F. Hurzeler ignited a lighter and threatened to burn his tactics book in front of the players. Ultimately, he did just that, burning his plan that was meant for those unfortunate matches.

Since then, Brighton has gone seven matches without a loss and climbed to seventh place in the Premier League.

However, in the FA Cup quarterfinal, the Seagulls once again could not withstand Forest, who triumphed after a penalty shootout.
