Must go to Basel again: coach Timo Schultz.

The crisis at FC Basel is having its first consequences. Coach Timo Schultz (46) has lost his job. He was only allowed to be on the FCB sidelines for eleven games. The East Frisian only managed four victories. Against Saint-Blaise and Bosphorus in the cup, away against Tobol Kostanay and at home against Winterthur. Average 1.27 points, the worst record since Karl Engel over a quarter of a century ago.

Of course, things couldn’t go well for the St. Pauli legend for long. Because a look at Schultz’s predecessor shows how short the fuse of FCB boss David Degen (40) is.

Patrick Frame (54): July 2021 – February 2022

It is a Saturday evening in February, just before 11 p.m., when David Degen makes the walls of the catacomb shake while jogging. The main recipient of the angry speech: Patrick Framework. He had just won 3-0 against Lausanne, but the native Basel resident was sacked the next day. Due to the “unsatisfactory overall sporting development”, as the FCB announced. Crazy: Frame, who spent 37 games on the sidelines as head coach, averaged 2.11 points. At this moment, Joggeli can only dream of such values. No wonder Degen subsequently described Frame’s dismissal as a mistake.

Guillermo Abascal (34): February 2021 – June 2022

The tactics nerd scores a paltry 1.38 points in his 16 matches. “Without results, a coach loses support,” Degen said in April. It is already clear that the Spaniard is unlikely to remain in office beyond this season. Could have been Basel’s U21 coach, but parted ways with Russia instead. Still on the sidelines at Spartak Moscow.

Alex Frei (44): July 2022 – February 2023

Comes from Winterthur as a promotion coach. Stands for identification, before departure. “The constellation had something fairytale-like,” David Degen later said afterwards. There is no happy ending, after 34 games and an average of 1.53 points, Frei is released. “In the end, the results are the most important thing, but the progress of the individual players, the way we play football and the teamwork also weigh heavily,” Degen explained the decision.

Heiko Vogel (47): February 2023 – June 2023

He proves in his first match that Heiko Vogel is a good coach. Coach FCSG coach Peter Zeidler is tactically variable. He also scored just 1.56 points in his 27 games, but led the team to the semi-finals of the Conference League. Had he remained coach, FCB would probably be in a better position at this point.

Now the team leader himself is back on the sidelines.
