Raphael Wicky (45) has lost his position as YB coach. A scenario that was not suggested by anything three months ago. The Wicky Crash Log.
Unclear contract situation (December 2023)
Six months before the end of his contract, Wicky’s future is still completely open. “We will sit down at the beginning of this year,” promises YB sports director Steve von Bergen (40) in a Blick interview.
Mobbing Players (December 2023)
‘I’m dirty. Really dirty!”, Jean-Pierre Nsamé (30) complains about his role as reserve after the last match of the year against Lausanne-Ouchy (3-1). “What player in Europe, who has done so much for a club and feels in such good form, would accept playing so little if he were me?” said the Cameroonian. “I want more playing time,” says defender Aurèle Amenda (20).
Same dispute escalates (January 2024)
Because he no longer feels valued enough in Bern, Nsame would like to move back to Servette. But YB does not want to give up its striker to a league competitor. As the ‘Tribune de Genève’ reports, there is an argument with von Bergen and CEO Christoph Sypcher (45), with Nsame slamming the door behind him.
Top performers leave YB (January/February 2024)
Shortly afterwards, Nsame disappeared. The striker will not move to Geneva, but to Como in the second Italian league. He later publicly withdraws from YB. With Ulisses Garcia (28), another star from the Bernese team leaves for Marseille. The in-form Donat Rrudhani (24) is loaned to Lausanne.
Injury witch strikes (February 2024)
First, defender Loris Benito (32) was out for months with a torn cruciate ligament, after which playmaker Filip Ugrinic (25) broke his left big toe. Within two weeks, YB lost two of its most important players this season.
Discussions leave Wicky cold (February 2024)
YB now says they will meet in the spring to clarify Wicky’s contract situation. “I am relatively relaxed and so is the club,” says the Valais about his expiring working document.
No chance to leave Europe (February 2024)
After the first leg (1:3) in Bern it was already clear that YB had nothing to win in the second round of the Europa League. The fact that the Bernese drew 1-1 against Sporting Lisbon in the second leg was because the Portuguese went three gears slower and YB goalkeeper von Ballmoos saved a penalty.
Three bankruptcies in a row (February/March 2024)
Within a few days, YB lost what had been a good season. In the top battle against Servette (0-1), the Bernese suffered their first defeat in the home league in two years. Four days later, the defending champions said goodbye to the cup in the quarter-finals with a 1-2 defeat against Sion. Wicky has one last match against FCZ (0:1), which is also lost. Napkin closes the gap to YB to within one point. Those responsible for YB are pulling the cord.
