While many fans may find that Hurzeler is too young for the position, he is confident in being able to handle the squad.
“I will work here the same as I have done before,” said the German, who helped St Pauli to the Bundesliga II title.
“I am aware this is a huge job and a big challenge,” he added.
“I need a lot of courage and to stay humble. If I am not convinced me and my team can do it, I wouldn’t do it.
“I call myself the friendly authority. Football is my passion. I try to convince my players using the power of ideas. I will learn a lot and by that I won’t become a worse manager.”
