Ailton (50)

The name was bigger than his achievements: Ailton in classification clothing.

The cult figure played in Switzerland for only four months. In contrast to his previous career, he did not make a major impact on the rankings in 2007. He won the double with Werder Bremen in 2004 and was top scorer in the Bundesliga.

Jose Altafini (85)

A world champion in the National League B: José Altafini.

He is one of the greatest footballers to ever play in Switzerland: world champion in 1958, four-time Italian champion and winner of the European Cup. When the striker moved to Chiasso in the NLB in 1976, he was already 38 years old.

Sonja Anderson (53)

No defender liked to kick him: Servette’s Sonny Anderson.

The striker played for Servette for a season and a half between 1992 and 1993. He became top scorer and champion. He subsequently became champion three times in France (Lyon and Monaco) and twice champion in Spain (Barcelona).

Arthur Cabral (25)

King Cabral: The Brazilian scored goal after goal for FCB.

He was the last great Brazilian in Swiss football. Between 2019 and 2022 he scored goal after goal for FC Basel. He has been playing for Benfica Lisbon since last summer.

Paulo Cesar (63)

Astray: Paulo Cesar in the 1986 Super10 fight.

GC and Cesar – that fits. He played for the Hoppers for four years between 1987 and 91, winning the Cup twice during that time. The striker previously played a season for AC Bellinzona.

Giovane Elber (51)

Great Giovane! Elber in GC dress.

When he played for the GC and won the Cup between 1991 and 1994, he was not yet a superstar. The striker only became that later with Stuttgart (cup winner), Bayern (four-time champion, three-time cup winner, Champions League winner) and Lyon (twice champion).

Mauro Galvao (62)

Led Lugano to cup victory in 1993: Mauro Galvao (l.).

The central defender played only once outside his home country: between 1990 and 1996 he played for Lugano and won the cup in 1993. With Brazil he participated in the World Cup in 1986 and 1990 and in 1989 he won the Copa America as a team. regular player.

Luiz Milton (62)

During his time at FCZ: Luiz Milton (l.).

He played for four clubs in Switzerland: Chiasso, Zurich, Sion and St. Gallen. He celebrated his greatest successes in Valais, where he became champion once (1997) and cup winner twice (1995 and 1997).

Raphael (39)

He ran and ran and ran: FCZ-Raphael.

Thanks to his goals, FCZ became champions in 2006 and 2007. He previously played for Chiasso for two years. The now 38-year-old is still active and plays in the German amateur leagues for Ay-Yildizspor.

Ratinho (52)

At the end of his career he played for Lucerne: Ratinho.

You just had to love him. Die Zaubermaus played in Switzerland for St. Gallen (1991-1993), Aarau (1993-1996) and Lucerne (2004-2006). In Germany he surprisingly became champion in 1998 with the newly promoted Kaiserslautern.

José Sinval (56)

Outside: José Sinval (l.).

During the nine Servette years (1986-1995) he became a legend in Geneva. When he came to Servette, he was only 19 years old. Highlight: the championship title in 1994. Later he played another season in Nati B for Etoile Carouge.

The coach: Abel Braga (71)

Short visit to Switzerland: Lugano coach Abel Braga.

In 2021 he coached FC Lugano for only four games. Then he was released on his 69th birthday. The crazy thing is that no Brazilian coach has had a longer career in the Super League than Braga.
