Fringer positive, Henchoz more critical: this is how the Nati experts see Yakin’s whereabouts

The association made the decision a week after the last Nati match: Murat Yakin (49) will remain Nati coach until the European Championship. Former Nati coach Rolf Fringer (66) welcomes this decision. “I think it is positive that Yakin can complete this project,” he told Blick.

Slightly more sober is the conclusion of former Nati defender Stéphane Henchoz (49). Although he thinks it is good that the association has reached a decision quickly, he does not want to decide whether it is right or wrong. “We will see that at the European Championships. The results decide,” he says.

Henchoz is not really surprised by Yakin’s confirmation. “He has achieved all his goals so far. But it is also about the way you achieve that. And that is why the discussions of the past few days were correct,” he says. Now Yakin has to make sure the team plays better. “Because there are no bad teams at the European Championship.”

Enough time to solve problems

However, Fringer sees opportunities in the many discussions of the past few days. Because now you have enough time to iron out the differences. «Personal vanities must be forgotten. Now everyone must join forces to fight for Switzerland in the summer.”

Fringer and Henchoz agree on the future of the national team. The performance at the European Championship will decide what happens next for both Nati coach Yakin and Nati director Pierluigi Tami (62). “They know that themselves,” Henchoz emphasizes.
