It was foreseeable that a 0:5 in Geneva against the actual favorite opponent Servette – coach Alain Geiger as coach of the Grenats had a negative record against Wallis before this game – would not remain without consequences. President Christian Constantin had more than 80 minutes to think about what he wants to do next. Because less than ten minutes had been played when his team was already three goals behind at the Stade de Geneve.
Certainly: Sion had already converted a 0:2 against Servette into a point win this season. But with the attitude with which the bottom players started this big game, it was foreseeable that nothing would work.
Ziegler: ‘Unfortunately, the coach is no longer with us’
After the game FC Sion was dismantled at SRF by Rainer Maria Salzgeber from Upper Valais and his expert Kay Voser. But Reto Ziegler shot the ball, which had returned from Lugano to Sion for the second half of the season and had thus far been a shadow of itself on the pitch. Sion is the weakest second half team! Ziegler, like three other new players, was allowed to intervene in the second half. But only then did he really intervene. First he apologizes to the fans who traveled with him. Then the resident of Vaud says: «Unfortunately, the coach will no longer be with us from tomorrow. The president is ugly.” And when asked by the SRF reporter if CC fired the coach during the break in front of the entire team, Ziegler says, “I heard that.”
No one from Zion at the media conference
And further: «Of course I gained weight. I haven’t heard or seen everything. I think that happened. There was a loud scream in the cloakroom. And the changes at halftime were made by the president. The club will certainly take a stand. I don’t know if that is the best solution. Bettoni really did the maximum. But at the end of the day, we are players on the field. Anyone who wants can come. We now have to play our way out of this situation. For me it is unthinkable to fall into the Challenge League. Even at 37, I don’t feel like it.”
It was not the only evidence that the French coach was no longer in office. While some Sion players confronted the angry fans, especially Giovanni Sio, no one from red and white appeared at the media conference. Yes, no one from Zion except the players commented. Neither Bettoni, nor CC, nor sports director Barthélémy Constantin.
Then, at 1am, Constantin senior reports to Blick with a text – he doesn’t have WhatsApp – when asked if he can confirm Ziegler’s words that he fired Bettoni during the break: “No, he has the second one coached at halftime.” follow up. What did it look like after the game? CC response: “I left there…”
Tramezzani is still under contract
sunday morning CC is at dive station. The Valais local newspaper “Nouvelliste” meanwhile speculates with a well-known name: a third return of Paolo Tramezzani is in the room. The Italian still lives nearby, more precisely in Montreux, and his contract with FC Sion is still running after CC was kicked out after the preliminary round because Tramezzani went on vacation right after the 2:7 in St. Gallen before it was not resolved .
Tramezzani talked about a lot in a big interview with Blick in early April, but he only lost two sentences about Sion: namely that CC called him after the firing of his successor Fabio Celestini to ask if he was interested in returning. But then CC decided otherwise. Tramezzani is said to be currently in Milan, where he will watch the second leg of the Champions League between AC and Inter on Tuesday. Travel time from Milan to Sion: over three hours.
