Week award

Premier League Manager: Fabian Hurzeler has won the Premier League Manager of the Month award for August after Brighton and Hove Albion secured wins over Everton and Manchester United as well as a point against Arsenal at the Emirates during the month.

It is Albion's second award of the season after Hurzeler's team picked up the Utilita Performance of the Week Award for their 3-0 victory over the Toffees. Hurzeler, 31 years old, is the youngest permanent head coach in Premier League history and is also the youngest to win a Manager of the Month award.

Furthermore, he is the first manager to win a Manager of the Month award in his first month in the Premier League since Ange Postecoglou achieved the feat with Tottenham Hotspur in August 2023. It’s the first time an Albion boss has won the award since Chris Hughton in February 2018.
