Premier League manager shows off outrageous skills in training session as his club prepare for pre-season friendlies

A Premier League manager pulled off an impressive piece of skill during his club’s training session ahead of their first pre-season fixture. 

The coach in question was seen showing off his kick-ups and tricks in a video posted to TikTok by the club he is in charge of. 

A player can then be heard speaking to the videographer in the background, saying: ‘Admin, this is some quality content’. 

The video has since garnered huge traction on the platform, with over 100,views and 12,000 likes since it was uploaded on Sunday afternoon. 

It showed none other than Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler flexing his twinkled-toed ability with a football. 

Hurzeler, took over at the Amex Stadium last summer, making him the youngest-ever Premier League manager in history when he was appointed at the age of 31. 

Reacting to the video in the comments section, many users were quick to point out his age in comparison to some of his players. 

One user wrote: ‘Virgil [van Dijk] and [Harry] Maguire are both older’. 

A second added: ‘Remember he’s younger than some of our players’. 

Another remarked: ‘The other mangers aren’t younger than James Milner’. 

A further comment read: ‘Fabian Hurzeler is bringing some serious skills to the table!’ 

Hurzeler was part of Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich’s academy as a youngster – spending eight years there and making 36 league appearances for their second team.

However, he effectively ended his own professional playing career aged 22 as he only played for amateur sides in Germany afterwards. 

His career in management began in 2016 as a player-coach with FC Pipinsried, who he managed to promote in his first season.

After being named assistant coach of St. Pauli in 2020, he was named their head coach in December 2022. 

Having won promotion to the Bundesliga with the club two seasons ago, he was named as Roberto De Zerbi successor on the South Coast. 

Following an eight-placed finish in his first campaign in charge, Brighton begin their pre-season for 2025-26 on Monday evening, as they face Spanish side Las Palmas.
