He can still participate in the European Championship draw: Tami does not give Yakin a job guarantee

Pot 4 instead of pot 2. Because Switzerland (number 14 in the world) missed out on the group win in qualifying, they are now threatened with a hammer group at the 2024 European Championships in Germany. “Now you need luck in the draw,” Manuel Akanji (28) said to SRF immediately after the 0-1 defeat in Bucharest. “We should have won this group,” said the frustrated defender.

The said group draw will take place on December 2 in Hamburg. “We are definitely going there with Murat Yakin,” assures Nati director Pierluigi Tami (62). But what will happen next is completely open. Switzerland has only won once in the last seven matches (against Andorra). Tami – also at the request of SRF presenter Rainer Maria Salzgeber (54) – does not guarantee a job for head coach Yakin, whose contract has been automatically extended until after the European Championship due to the qualification obtained.

Post-draw analysis

The analysis of the major national team will only take place after the draw. “I can’t say anything more at this point. I don’t make decisions alone,” says Tami about 49-year-old Yakin. “It is important that we find the best solution. The team is central. What is best for the upcoming European Championship?” Those responsible want to clarify this question.

Yakin also talks about analysis, saying, “We need to be more precise, more consistent and more cool-headed.” Switzerland scored two goals in the three games in November against Israel (1:1), Kosovo (1:1) and Romania (0:1) – Ruben Vargas (25) scored each time. Yakin: “We had plenty of chances again today, so we are disappointed. We have to be self-critical, analyze it and draw the right conclusions from it.”

Akanji asks a quality question

The decisive goal against the number 48 in the world. Romania conceded against Nati in the 50th minute. Akanji: “I don’t even know what to say anymore. The opponent has a chance and scores a goal. We have five top chances and don’t score. If there is no efficiency, you cannot win a match – that is a matter of quality.”

“That wasn’t enough today. We play back and forth too much,” said Xherdan Shaqiri (32), who was replaced by Renato Steffen (32) in the 62nd minute. «I am quite sure that we will perform differently at the European Championship. Because in Germany it will of course be difficult.” (Yes)
