Three Managers Under-40 To Lead Teams In 2025/2026 EPL Campaign
Three managers under the age of 40 will lead teams in the 2025/2026 English Premier League (EPL) campaign. Fabian Hürzeler, aged 32, will lead Brighton & Hove Albion for his second season in the EPL, known for his disciplined pressing tactics.
Kieran McKenna, 39, will guide Ipswich Town in their first EPL campaign since 2002, with a background as a former Manchester United assistant. Russell Martin, also 39, will lead Southampton back to the EPL with a focus on possession and controlled passing.
These young managers bring a fresh perspective to the league, with Hürzeler adapting continental methods, McKenna's analytical approach, and Martin's patient possession style. Their challenge will be to prove that age is not a barrier to success in the EPL.
