There is a lot of uncertainty at GC: no coach, far too few players and time pressure

On June 19, barely three weeks after the last game of the season on Monday in Basel, GC will start preparations for the new season. At least that’s the plan. Because at the GC campus in Niederhasli there are only question marks at the moment.

The coach is still unknown, although Giorgio Contini has long since submitted his resignation. “80 percent” of them were found, said sports director Bernt Haas recently in the “Tagesanzeiger”. At the beginning of May, Blick made public his meeting with Bruno Berner, who still has a contract with Winterthur until June 2024.

The staff hangs in the balance

At other clubs with departing buses, the new one is already ready. At Servette, René Weiler takes over the coaching position from Alain Geiger after the season. At FCB, Timo Schultz replaces Heiko Vogel.

As of now, Continis Staff is still here in June. Assistant coach Romain Villiger, goalkeeping coach Jörg Stiel & Co. have signed contracts with a three-month notice period – none have been canceled so far. Of course there is uncertainty.

Almost no players for the season opener

Same with the players. The contracts of service providers such as Goalkeeper Moreira, Kawabe, Bolla, Herc, Schettineintegration figure push run out, just like those of Demhasaj, Nadjack, Margreitter. Most of them will leave GC on a free transfer – such as defender Loosli, who moves to VfL Bochum.

Who will appear on campus for the season opener in mid-June?

It is also unlikely that Abrashi, Dadashov, Shabani and Seko will be there as they are traveling with their national teams.

And what about newcomers? Because the uncertainty at GC is as great as the pressure to save (Bill Pan, the envoy of the Chinese GC owners, has to drastically cut the budget), sports director Haas certainly does not have the best cards in the transfer market. . Blick learned that classification from the defender of Lugano Fabio Daprela was interested, but prefers the FCZ, where he should sign. “It is not yet ready for a decision,” says FCZ sports director Jurendic when asked by “Nau”.

The St. Gallen striker should also be on the ranking list Emmanuel Latte lat (24) standing. The Ivorian is owned by Atalanta Bergamo. Also on promise from YB defender Quentin Maceiras and the young man from Zurich And I Hoti (20), who is currently on loan from Inter Milan to SC Freiburg, is said to have shown interest from GC. What will happen?

Media boss gave up

No coach yet, far too few players and time pressure. Haas should have his hands full right now. Perhaps that is why Blick has not been able to reach the sports director for weeks.

Transparent communication has not been one of the club’s great assets since the Chinese owners took over. And it probably won’t get any better for some time to come. Media boss Gianluca de Cristofaro has also submitted his resignation. Perhaps he felt that with a no-communications policy in place at GC, there was no need for a communications manager. He would be right.
