Brighton & Hove Albion have confirmed Daniel Niedzkowski will arrive at The Amex on January 1st, to be part of Fabian Hürzeler’s backroom staff.
The Seagulls showed interest in the German last month and wanted to bring him to the club, mainly because of Hürzeler.
On November 6th, SportBild stated the 47-year-old’s move to Brighton is a huge loss for DFB [German football association] as he’s been the assistant coach to the Germany U21 and the head of DFB’s Pro License course.
Thursday’s edition of Solinger Bergische Morgenpost looks at Niedzkowski’s coaching career so far and then provide more information about his move to Brighton.
It’s claimed the German has already said goodbye to DFB, ahead of his move to Brighton. This means the incoming Seagulls assistant manager has left his role as the Germany U21 assistant coach and the head of Pro License course.
Niedzkowski was born in Solingen and the newspaper local to that region claims he’s set to get two jobs at the English club. As well as being Hürzeler’s assistant, the coach will also ‘act as a head of development’ at Brighton.
