Joël Magnin, Raphael Wicky’s interim successor at YB, is number 18. Of the twelve Super League clubs, five have already changed coaches this season: Yverdon, Stade-Lausanne Ouchy, FCZ, YB once, FC Basel even twice. That is 18 coaches, an average of 1.5 per club. And the hot phase of the championship, when the threads of patience on the carpeted floors traditionally wane, is yet to come.
Slowly but surely, the coaching carousel in the top class is picking up speed. Officially, YB and FC Zürich are currently looking for a new trainer for the new season. In other places, developments in the coming weeks will show how severe the seat displacement will be in the summer. Ultimately, half the league is looking for a new coach?
Celestini wants a team capable of winning a title
In St. Gallen, Alain Sutter’s divorce showed that even in Eastern Switzerland, wedding vows do not last forever. This year the Espen are the second worst team behind the inferior promoted team Stade Lausanne-Ouchy. Peter Zeidler contradicts that. What speaks for the German is that losing the second sporting conscience after Sutter would be (too?) big a risk for St. Gallen.
There is also uncertainty in Basel. Two weeks ago, Fabio Celestini and president David Degen spoke positively about a contract extension. But the mutual belief has probably not grown since then: first they were thrown out of the cup against Lugano, then the red and blues probably lost their last chance for the top 6 against Lausanne-Sport. Celestini wants a team that is capable of winning the title. next season. Or Degen and Co. can and want to give him that?
At GC, the new American owners have so far refrained from making any personnel changes. Although the lack of development, both in terms of results and play, is clear. If things don’t get better, it’s difficult to imagine a future with Bruno Berner next season. Will he be inherited by Raphael Wicky, who has the best contacts with the GC owners?
They still exist: the trainers who are too good
Then there are also coaches who could leave their club for positive reasons and climb the career ladder in the summer: Patrick Framework of FC Winterthur and Mario Frick of FC Luzern are considered candidates at YB. René Weiler of Servette was able to further increase his already high shares abroad. And it is well known that Mattia Croci-Torti does an impeccable job in Lugano.
Every change opens the door for new faces. YB bosses are also likely to look abroad; Thomas Stamm (Freiburg II) and Bo Svensson (ex Mainz) are mentioned in the media. In the Challenge League, Wil coach Brunello Iacopetta is seen as a promise for the future. When it comes to Thun’s Mauro Lustrinelli, rumors persist that he is the crown favorite at FCZ. And with Didier Tholot from Sion, a familiar face returns to the Super League this summer.
