Hurzeler says there is a lot more to do on his Albion

And he would not “throw away” his current situation in a hurry.

The head coach has guided the Seagulls to third place in the Premier League, helped by the best records in the division for goals scored and clean sheets among other metrics.

They are unbeaten in eight games, including a recent run of six wins, and would love to add a landmark success over Liverpool on Sunday.

It would be the club’s first win at Anfield in front of fans in the Prem era.

But Hurzeler says there is a lot more to come from him and his side.

He said: “I always emphasise it. I think I am really privileged to be in this situation here.

“I always mention that I am part of a journey and I always emphasise as well that I still have this feeling when I go to bed that we are not finished with our journey.

“I am not 100% satisfied and happy where we are. There are still improvements we can do.

“Still a lot of potential to get out of the players.

“I really want to work on that together with my players, together with my staff.

“I have great experts around me, I have a great group of players.

“Players who support me, players who give everything for this club. We built this over the last years.

“We had tough periods, we had good periods.

“But I think to build these types of relationships you need time.

“You need connections and you don’t take these things for granted.

“In the end it’s a people’s business and making a people’s business out of this very pressured business is something I don’t take for granted and I don’t throw it away that fast.”

Hurzeler, who is now entering his second century of matches as Seagulls boss, is likely to be speculatively mentioned as a possible candidate to succeed Michael Carrick all the time the latter is said to be under pressure at Manchester United.

But Albion are understood to be comfortable about their head coach’s situation.

Hurzeler said: “I have no time to think about these rumours because we play every three days.

“And besides that I have a lot of respect for Michael Carrick, for what he has done with Manchester United in the last season.

“He is a great human being, he is a great personality.

“Every time we meet each other, we have a really good relationship.

“There is nothing more to say about that.”
