FA Charity Shield: Brighton & Hove Albion face a stern test in the fifth round of the FA Cup when they travel to St. James Park on Sunday to face Newcastle United. Head coach Fabian Hurzeler has promised the Seagulls' fanbase that his side will give everything on the pitch but can’t guarantee a title. Brighton’s last, and only, major trophy came more than a century ago when they defeated Aston Villa 1-0 in the 1910 FA Charity Shield (later known as FA Community Shield).
"First of all, that's my job. I always try to give everything for the club, and, of course, I always want the club to be the most successful we can be. That's my job, together with the staff and players, and therefore we try that," he added.
"We promise everyone that we will try to give everything on the pitch and beside the pitch to make them proud, but we can't promise to win a title. That's the thing that we work on and the thing we try to do in our daily behaviour, and then we will see what will come in the future,” said Hurzeler in the pre-match press conference.
