Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler said the team's final eighth place in the Premier League this season was a "great achievement".
In the final match of the Premier League, Brighton beat Tottenham Hotspur, who had just won the Europa League, 4-1 away, ensuring that they were among the top eight in the league. However, due to the unsatisfactory results in other competitions, Brighton failed to qualify for the European Cup next season.
"I have my own way of looking at this season," Hertzler said. "We've been through a lot of difficulties and challenges, but we've always been united."
"I can put the year in the right way and I'm really proud of my team, the coaching staff and the whole club."
"It's true that we didn't get a place in the European competition, but the results of other competitions are beyond our control."
“Reaching the top eight is a great achievement and something we can be proud of. Of course, there are still many areas that need improvement and that is the challenge we face next season - we can’t wait.”
