Managerial career

Seoane was appointed manager of reigning Swiss Super League champions Young Boys on 2 June 2018.[3] Seoane, aged 39, was considered a surprise pick to succeed Adi Hütter as coach, despite guiding FC Luzern to third place in the Super League in his first full management job.[3] Upon taking thee role at Young Boys, Seoane pledged to continue with Hütter's playing style and keep the backroom staff in place.[3]

In his first season in charge, he guided the club to their 13th league title and helped the club qualify to the group stage of the UEFA Champions League for the first time in club history.[3][4] In his second season, Seaone led the club to a domestic double, delivering their 14th league title (their third in a row) and seventh cup title and first in over 30 years.[5]
