FC St. Pauli have confirmed the departure of head coach Fabian Hürzeler, who is joining Brighton & Hove Albion with immediate effect.
“Fabian did an outstanding job as assistant coach and then head coach of FC St. Pauli,” said St. Pauli director of sport Andreas Bornemann.

"My journey at FC St. Pauli has come to an end after four years together. I'm very grateful to the club, the fans and all the officials for the time we've spent together and what we've achieved together. It was a pleasure to be able to accompany this special club part of the way. Moving to the Premier League is a dream come true for me, but St. Pauli, and the unforgettable moments we shared, especially getting promoted to the Bundesliga, will always be in my heart."
