After Heusler’s rejection: Heusler’s rejection puts the association in a difficult position

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 iQNQmc”>

He doesn’t like to hear it himself, but it’s true: Although it has been almost seven years since he left FC Basel, Bernhard Heusler (60) is still a shining light in Swiss football. His name stands for the most successful era of a Swiss football club, for professionalism, for continuity and for excellent communication.

Swiss football could only have benefited from his skills and experience. The fact that Heusler’s initial interest in the office of SFV president has now resulted in a rejection is regrettable from a top football perspective. And puts the professional department of the association in a difficult position.

After 16 years, she wants to fill the highest football position again in the summer of 2025 with someone from her ranks. With Heusler, this project would almost certainly have been successful; he was the dream solution.

It can no longer be prevented that a new candidate will carry the label “Solution 1b”. And then it must be someone who combines competence and fame at a high level. Such as UEFA tournament boss Martin Kallen (59) or YB chief strategist Christoph Spycher (45). Otherwise, there is a risk of defeat in the elections against the representative of the numerically superior amateurs. Now the persuasive powers of the league bosses are required.
