Nati boss Tami about Yakin’s future: ‘Maybe Murat suddenly doesn’t feel like it anymore’

The 3-3 draw against football dwarf Belarus caused a medium-sized earthquake. Subject: Murat Yakin. Is he still the right coach? Aren’t the atmospheric disturbances too strong? And the disagreements with captain Granit Xhaka?

We will meet in December, says Tami. ‘Then we have taken stock. Then we want to know what Yakin wants. As far as we are concerned, we are satisfied with his work.” Then the decision must be made: will Yakin continue? Or will you split up after EM?

Contract is automatically extended

Because if Yakin manages to qualify, and that is difficult to assume, his contract will be automatically extended up to and including the euro. “We are not thinking in other directions at the moment,” says Tami. Currently? So that could still change? No, there is no back door. “But maybe Murat suddenly doesn’t feel like it anymore. You never know.”

And yet there is a possibility that this plan will be sabotaged. Namely if the direct qualification fails. Then you will have to play the play-offs in March. And then an analysis in December would make no sense. But no one within the SFV assumes that this is the case.

We have to win the group

And not only that: the expectations extend beyond just qualifying, which must be determined on Wednesday with the first match point. Tami: «We want to get first place. Because of the group draw for the European Championships. And because of the players’ self-confidence, because they expect that too.”

That is why the two games against Kosovo and in Romania are so important, even if there is an early qualification. “The performance assessment is based on all ten matches,” Tami emphatically emphasizes. But, he adds, we shouldn’t cast a black light on things just yet. Despite the three disappointing draws, there are a few positives that need to be highlighted: “After the 3-1 defeat to Belarus, everyone wrote us off. But we still have one point. We are undefeated. And we completely dominated all the matches. All! This should not be ignored, despite the mistakes made.”

And, says Tami, other major teams are at acute risk of missing out on direct qualification for the European Championship. That’s not Switzerland. But now the entire focus is on Israel. And just exercise. “The other thing is too big for us,” he says, meaning the war. «I have the feeling that the players are completely focused. Total! We just want these three points. It doesn’t matter how.” His word in the ears of the Nati fans.
