'One of the most popular German coaches' | Herzeler, Brighton's 'brave solution'
Florian Plettenberg of Sky Germany:
“Hurzeler is a former professional footballer and only started his coaching career a few years ago. I would say he is one of the most popular coaches in German football. Many German clubs are also interested in him.
“On the way to promotion, St. Pauli played sensational football. Herzeler is a good character and a good person. He is a bit like Julian Nagelsmann. They are both very modern, confident and courageous. Herzeler loves attacking. Like, he's not a defensive coach.
“I understand why Brighton are keeping an eye on Herzler and I think they have a good chance of signing him. He is very ambitious and obviously very young at 31, but he has nothing to lose.”
“He has a great relationship with the players, is a leading figure despite his age and has been absolutely accepted within the club, along with the fans.
“For Herzeler, he has to ask himself now whether it is the right move for him, but with the way he manages the team and the way he wants to play football, he could be the perfect solution for Brighton and a very brave solution.” This stage.”
