It is game one after the dismissal of Inka Grings (45). Under interim coach Reto Gertschen (58), the national women’s team is trying to get back on track on Friday in Lucerne against Sweden (8 p.m., SRFinfo live). The Nations League final in Italy will follow on Tuesday – it will probably be another farewell for SFV coach training manager Gertschen.

Or not? SFV women’s football boss Marion Daube (47) does not rule out that Gertschen could become Grings’ permanent successor. Daube herself is the only woman on the search committee, which also includes SFV president Blanc, secretary general Breiter, Nati director Tami and SFV development manager Bruggmann.

The job comes too soon for the Super League talents

The time horizon is open. The only fixed point: the new husband or wife must be determined before the first cohabitation in February. Coaches from the Super League such as Marisa Wunderlin (36) from St. Gallen or Kim Kulig (33) from Leider Basel are not experienced enough. However, Frenchman Eric Severac (53), who led the Servette women in Switzerland to first place, would be free.

But because they hope for someone with international experience, as was the case with Nils Nielsen (52, Germany), they look abroad. But the SFV is threatened with a flood of rejections. For many reasons. One of them: Just like a year ago when Grings was brought in from FCZ, the search takes place in the middle of the season. “There are a lot of good people under contract,” Daube knows.

Ex-Sweden and Brazil coach Pia Sundhage (63) and the Swiss-known Martina Voss-Tecklenburg (55) are also said to have colorful names available.

Whoever comes, there is a danger of confusion. In the women’s department, everyone has multiple jobs at the same time due to a lack of resources. Also national coach. For example, the fact that you also have to pay a lot of attention to young talent can deter candidates who are used to something different from large associations.

In addition: Of course, the prospect of the European Championship at home in 2025 is extremely attractive. But the highlight may raise unrealistic sporting expectations of Grings’ successor, who will spark a boom in women’s football with great matches at the European Championships. Can a new coach achieve this with the team, which still overestimates itself, to the European Championship in less than ten moves? One can hope so.
