Schaffhausen manages a transfer hammer! Eren Derdiyok, the old Bundesliga star (Leverkusen, Hoffenheim), the Swiss participant in the World Cup and the European Championship, the 60-time national player, moves to the Challenge League.

According to information from Blick, FC Schaffhausen has secured the services of the storm veteran. Derdiyok will be presented on Thursday in the Wefox Arena.

Derdiyok will not be the only new player, FCS stands for a total revolution. 15 professionals have disappeared, including veteran star Raul Bobadilla (35) and ex-Lugano player Davide Mariani (32). And so far there are only two new ones before the start of training. In addition to previous Aarau goalkeeper Simon Enzler (25), Schaffhausen signed Indian League Spanish striker Pedro Martin (31), a former Atletico professional, on Sunday. With the upcoming Derdiyok transfer, the Northeastern Swiss set a second exclamation mark.

Papierli trainer Bigi Meier

FCS will be coached by André “Bigi” Meier (73) next season. Like a year ago. At that time, the former Lucerne and classification player, as holder of the necessary UEFA Pro license, bridged the phase that Hakan Yakin (46) had not yet started his license course in Turkey. And now it’s Meier again who officially becomes the head coach. He was never really gone anyway: after the episode alongside Yakin, he stayed with the club as an advisor.

Now the oldest coach in Swiss professional football is back on the field from the start of training on Monday. At the start, Meier is actually the boss in training.

Because assistant coach Selcuk Sasivari (33) is still missing in Schaffhausen because of his second job as a video analyst in the national team at Murat Yakin. But after that, Sasivari is the secret boss again, as he was at the end of last season when he took over from Hakan Yakin on an interim basis. And Bigi Meier another Papierli trainer.

But Meier in Schaffhausen succeeds, because he has no problem with his role as a diploma holder. “The expression Papierli-Trainer doesn’t bother me,” he told Blick a year ago.

The fact that he will soon have an ex-Nati star in his ranks in Derdiyok should not bother him either. He was without a club for half a year. Most recently, the 35-year-old was under contract with Ankaragücü in the Turkish Süper Lig.
