Fabio Celestini (47) failed as a manager at Sion. In itself, this is not surprising, because this happened to almost all of his 50 predecessors under Christian Constantine. By the way, however, I was surprised. Less than 100 days later and not a single victory. The Waldenses never arrived in the Valais.
The former national team player, who played for ten years in France and Spain, was considered a great coaching potential for many years. His teams played interesting football. And at all his stations he left traces (of success).
He led Lausanne back to the Superliga (2016), Lugano to 3rd place (2019), Lucerne won the cup (2021). Experts considered the former Marseille captain and assistant Zinedine Zidane destined for higher purposes, even if he has to pack his bags sooner rather than later in Ticino and central Switzerland.
Now Celestini’s resume is getting big hits for the first time, and for the moment he has to take a backseat when looking for a job. It remains to be seen how much the interlude will hurt his coaching career in the long run.
Murat Yakin and Peter Seidler prove that failure in Valais does not necessarily mean the end of all ambition. Both have a background in FC Sion. Both are now at the zenith of their (coaching) careers.
